ABSTRACT The intention of this paper is to provide a selective overview of Australian Aboriginal' 5 tedics and research. The nature and content of 'Aboriginal studies' in Austialia are described, and past and ongoing research in two areas, Aboriginal Education and Psychology, are briefly reviewed. An attempt is also made to address some broader issues and concerns which appear to cut across disciplines, and to identify some common areas of interest where research, tertiary education, and indigenous priorities appear to lie. In many ways the Canadian experience most closely approximates the indigenous situation in Australia, and there is considerable value in identifying areas of mutual interest and concern. There are no tertiary institutions in Australia which have Australian Aboriginal Studies as a core curriculum or program. There are, however, a number of Universities and Colleges or Advanced Education which have a strong Aboriginal course and content emphasis relevant to particular programs (e.g., education, community welfare, history, anthropology), as well as a number of institutions which have curricula and programs specifically designed for Aboriginal students (often called Aborigi nal Studies Programs). Researchers and teachers overseas who wish to make contact with institutions with a particular interest or expertise in Aboriginal Studies must keep this in mind, and perhaps make initial contact with a particular Department., individual, or advisory body. The only research center in Australia which would approximate a Native Studies center is the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies in Canberra, the national capitU. The Institute has an extensive library of published material dealing with or of relevance to
