The Tasmanian Aboriginal Education Consultative Committee (T.A.E.C.C.) was established in March 1979 as a result of prior consultation between the Tasmanian Education Department, the Tasmanian representative to the National Aboriginal Education Committee (N.A.E.C), Mrs Patsy Cameron and Aboriginal organisations throughout Tasmania and the islands.
The Committee was elected by the Aboriginal community and consists of twelve Aboriginal people – three each from the northwest, southern and northern regions and one each from Flinders and Cape Barren Islands, and the Tasmanian representative to the N.A.E.C.
It was formed in response to a need for increased Aboriginal involvement in the area of Aboriginal education in Tasmania.
The committee’s function is to advise the Minister for Education and his department on the educational needs of Aboriginal people in Tasmania and to suggest appropriate ways of meeting these needs.
It meets every three months.
