Aboriginal Reference Group (Rights of the Terminally Ill Act, 1995)

The Aboriginal Reference Group (Rights of the Terminally Ill Act, 1995) was comprised of 'members of key Aboriginal organisations and government departments'. It advised on the education program for Northern Territory Aboriginal communities relating to the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act.

"Territory Health Services has established an advisory committee to coordinate the total education package. It comprises representatives from the Attorney-General's Department, the Office of Ethnic Affairs, palliative care services, Territory Health Services and a range of other organisations responsible for the development and implementation of education programs. It has also representation from a special reference group, comprised of members of key Aboriginal organisations and government departments, which is advising on the education program for Aboriginal communities."
