Administrative history
A conference in Adelaide in 1958 resulted in the formation of the Federal Council for Aboriginal Advancement. In 1964, the organisation was renamed to include Torres Strait Islanders in the title. Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders (FCAATSI) was formed to advance the rights of Aboriginal people. The Council included Aboriginal Advancement organisations, unions and church organisations. One of the Council's most successful campaigns was establishing the 1967 Referendum. In March 1978 FCAATSI changed its name to the National Aboriginal and Islander Liberation Movement (NAILM) but the organisation never met. It disbanded that same year after the federal government cut funding.
