About this site
The Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnership (OATSIP) website has been created to provide information about the office and its services. The site is based around seven categories of information:
- News and events - latest news and upcoming events related to OATSIP
- About us - corporate information about the office
- Communities - information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
- Partnership programs - information about Government programs
- OATSIP programs - information about the services OATSIP provides to communities
- Resources - quick and easy access to the site's publications and other resources
- Funding - about OATSIP and other Government funding
- Links - a list of links to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander related sites
The design of the site is based on a common look and feel for all Queensland Government.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a message given to a web browser by a web server. The browser stores the message in a text file called cookie.txt. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customised web pages for them. When you enter a website which is using cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form providing such information as your name and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your web browser which stores it for later use. The next time you go to the same website, your browser will send the cookie to the web server. The server can use this information to present you with custom web pages. So, for example, instead of seeing just a generic welcome page, you might see a welcome page with your name on it.
The name cookies derives from UNIX objects called magic cookies. These are tokens that are attached to a user or program and change depending on the areas entered by the user or program. Cookies are also sometimes called persistent cookies because they typically stay in the browser for long periods of time.
