Today is Indigenous Literacy Day – a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories, cultures and language. This year’s theme ‘Strength In Our Stories: For Now & Future Generations’, highlights the diversity of storytelling and how it keeps communities strong now and into the future. There are many ways to tell a story. The most recent Census data shows 10,715 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples worked as educators, translators, interpreters, historians, librarians and in creative jobs in 2021.

Note: Includes people aged 15 years and over. Includes school and tertiary education teachers, other education professionals, translators, interpreters, historians, librarians, library assistants and technicians, arts and media professionals, fashion, industrial and jewellery designers, graphic and web designers and illustrators.
