Confirmation Aboriginality

Applicants for identified and targeted positions will be required to cite and corroborate their Aboriginality (also known as confirming Aboriginality). Obtaining information that corroborates Aboriginality may be an extremely difficult and lengthy process. It is important that such difficulties are not a barrier for recruitment and that support is provided to applicants to explore their options for corroborating Aboriginality. If an applicant is unable to access documentation from their Local Aboriginal Land Council or other incorporated Aboriginal organisation, NSW Health organisations must provide them with more flexible arrangements for corroborating  Aboriginality.

Such options may include:

• Community advice

• Statutory declaration

• Referee checks

• Family histories and contacts.

In addition, the applicant may demonstrate their Aboriginality and ties or connection to the Aboriginal community in which they live, or have lived or worked in, during the interview process.
