Abstract
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Australian schools continue to have poor education and
health outcomes, and the introduction of a new national curriculum may assist in redressing this situation. This
curriculum emphasises recommendations which have been circulating in the sector over many years, to require
teacher education institutions to provide their students with an understanding of past and contemporary
experiences of Indigenous Australians, as well as the social, economic and health disadvantages that challenge
Indigenous communities, and to equip them to integrate Indigenous issues into their future teaching programs.
This article, while focusing on teacher education developments at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) to
meet National Standards and Frameworks for preservice teachers, provides some general background, and
identifies recently developed resources, including the potential for Indigenous centres within universities to
assist educators.
