The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council was established in 1973. According to Sherriff, the AICC was designed to "provide a unifying centre for all involved in Aboriginal and Islander Ministry and give official recognition to the importance of that work". The AICC appears to have been wound up in around 1992, when the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference recognised the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council (NATSICC) as an advisory body to the bishops.
