Aboriginal Languages Act

The Aboriginal Languages Act is a law designed to support and protect Indigenous languages in Australia. It aims to recognize the importance of these languages to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, promoting their use in education, media, and public life. The Act encourages initiatives for language revival and maintenance, fostering cultural identity and heritage. By doing so, it helps ensure that language diversity is preserved and respected, acknowledging the cultural significance of these languages to their speakers and to Australia as a whole.
