"The Toolkit contains information to help individuals and groups at various stages of involvement with reconciliation. It will assist people who want to start a local reconciliation group or sustain or grow an existing group. It may also be useful to people generally interested in reconciliation or those working for reconciliation in educational institutions, community organisations, faith groups, government or business. The resource is primarily aimed at people in the wider community who want to work for reconciliation together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. That said, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations will also find much here that they can use." The toolkit contains information relating to: Working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities What are the protocols?
