Tasmanian Aboriginal Learning Programs

In 2024 TMAG will be providing a range of resources as part of self-guided visits to TMAG’s Tasmanian Aboriginal galleries. Please return to this page mid March for an updated list of resources available. Teachers are also encouraged to register for a Tasmanian Aboriginal professional development session on 20 March.

As part of TMAG’s commitment to Closing the Gap, TMAG’s Aboriginal Learning Facilitator(s) will be focusing guided programs on Tasmanian schools and communities with higher proportions of Tasmanian Aboriginal students. To make this possible, TMAG will not be providing general school guided Tasmanian Aboriginal Programs in 2024.
