Hi,

Depends on the state that you are in...

I can only comment on the High School curriculum in NSW.

Year 7 and 8 - what is history, ancient civilisations, including indigenous history.

Year 9 and 10 - Aboriginal history, then history from Federation to now.

History is compulsory for these 4 years.

HTH

(BTW, you can look at the DET site for your state)
