The AIATSIS Code of Ethics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research is informed by recognition and respect for the rights of Indigenous peoples to be fully engaged in any processes, projects and activities that may impact on them.

 

The code outlines the four principles of ethical Australian Indigenous research, including: Indigenous self-determination, Indigenous leadership, impact and value, and sustainability and accountability. Each of these principles frame a set of responsibilities for researchers and institutions when conducting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research.
