The Advisory Council of Aborigines was appointed by the Governor in January 1918 under the regulations of the Aborigines Act 1911. Its role was to advise, report and make recommendations to the Commissioner of Public Works who had responsibility for the Aborigines Office at that time. It was replaced by the Aborigines Protection Board in 1940.
