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.

Scope and content
Duplicated typescript report Joyce Clague (or Joyce Claugue), State Secretary for Central Australia and Northern Territory, Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. Presented at the Sixteenth FCAATSI Annual Conference in Brisbane, 20-22 April 1973. Provides information on a push for wage equality between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal employees, the need for mobile health clinics and other health services, a request for social service pensions, and other matters affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Central Australia and Northern Territory. The second leaf appears to be an attachment to the report but is inconsistently paginated (as 2). It argues for the urgent need for teachers educating Aboriginal children to receive special race relations training to combat prejudice and ignorance.
