Indigenous Advisory Group

The Indigenous Advisory Group (IAG) acts as an independent advisory group to the Library Board of Queensland to support the achievement of a guiding principle in the Libraries Act 1988 (Qld) that respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are affirmed.

The IAG provides advice to the Library Board on the development of library services for Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including the ongoing collection of material and information relating to Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples and ensuring that access to this material is undertaken in a culturally sensitive, inclusive and appropriate manner.
