This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and apply knowledge of cultural arts within a specific Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander context. The local cultural knowledge necessary to achieve competency in this unit may only be accessible to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. This unit also reflects the fact that there is no single Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander culture.

The unit applies to individuals working in all areas of arts practice who are expected to work closely with local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities. They may be responsible for establishing a local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander reference group. It is vital to ensure respectful integration of any local cultural knowledge or protocols that will inform the implementation of the unit.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
