Key statistics

reset

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Census population of Wellington Shire in 2021 was 924, living in 456 dwellings.

This profile allows comparison of the characteristics of the First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) population within Wellington Shire to the First Nations population of a benchmark area or the total population of Wellington Shire

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (which is alternatively known as Indigenous or First Nations) is derived from a specific Census question:

"Is the person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin?". Separate categories are shown below for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander or both.

First Nations people in Australia are often (but not always) disadvantaged compared to the total population, so viewing the characteristics of this group can help users understand First Nations disadvantage and other characteristics, and particularly how they are changing over time. This table is a summary of the key statistics of this group, while other topics have more detail.
