Certificates of Entitlement
"Under the provisions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Affairs Act of 1965
the Aboriginal and Island Affairs Department was established on 28 Apr 1966 to replace
the Director of Native Affairs Office.
After the 1965 Act, the Department's policy towards Aboriginal affairs was one of complete
equality, opportunity and responsibility within the white community. Instead of seeking
'exemption' from the provision of the Act, people had to apply for a 'Certificate of Entitlement'
in order to come under the Act. Wage control and employment agreements were only administered
for assisted people. Only people on reserves were considered assisted. With the introduction
of the Aborigines Act 1971 and the Torres Strait Islanders Act 1971, the term 'assisted' was
abolished.
The Aboriginal and Island Affairs Department controlled and managed the Aboriginal population,
both adults and children, who were deemed to be 'assisted' or 'wards' of the State. This power
was exercised in regard to health, education, employment, housing and accommodation, child welfare,
personal finances, pensions and benefits, training, property, issue of Certificates of Entitlement,
industrial operations, and trust accounts, etc.")
