What do you call a person who lives in Australia or New Zealand?
People who live in Australia are simply called Australians.The indigenous people of Australia are known as the "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders".

Not necessarily. The indigenous people of Australia (aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders) have a history of being disadvantaged in Australia. By requesting this information, government agencies are acknowledging the fact that indigenous people may have had fewer opportunities for education and, in many cases, may experience a lower standard of living than others in Australia. It's a concession to their race and the fact that many indigenous people have often had opportunities for advancement withheld from them.
