 Family, Kinship and Community relates to aspects of the relationships people have with others; be they family, cultural group, or community members. These relationships play an important role in the lives of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as they provide a three-tier social network system; one that may overlap but still retain individual boundaries. In general, community relationships play a large role in the lives of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as there is a great emphasis on having connections with other people.
