The Aboriginal and Island Affairs Department, which was previously called the Office of the Director of Native Affairs, was established in 1966. The Department managed the affairs of Queensland's Aborigines who were deemed to be 'assisted' Aborigines or State Wards. Government policy at this time was stated as one of 'complete equality'. The term 'assisted' was abolished in 1971. The Aboriginal and Island Affairs Department was replaced with the Aboriginal and Islanders Advancement Department in 1975.
