'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' is the preferred descriptor used throughout the report. 'People' is an acceptable alternative to 'peoples' depending on context but, in general, the collective term 'peoples' is used. The 'Indigenous Australians' descriptor is inclusive of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups, and is used where it is impractical to use 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' (e.g., in tables, charts, figures, and where the text requires the term to be repeated a number of times).
The 'non-Indigenous' descriptor is used where the data collection allows for the separate identification of people who are neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander. The label 'other Australians' is used to refer to the combined data for non-Indigenous people, and those for whom Indigenous status was not stated.
