Aboriginal women's music encompasses various genres, and they employ distinct instruments in their musical expressions. Some musical instruments utilized by Indigenous Australian women include:
- Clapsticks: Traditional percussion consisting of two wooden, often elaborately carved pieces of hardwood that the women strike together rhythmically.
- Didgeridoo: While generally considered an instrument more widely associated with男性 in contemporary times, some regions and Indigenous communities within Australia have documented examples of women incorporating the didgeridoo into their repertoire.
- Possum skin cloaks: Possum skin cloaks are an item traditionally manufactured and designed byIndigenous peoples in specific areas of Arnhem Land within the Northern Territory. Often made by weaving together possum fur strands through bark or rope, the sound these create produces gentle musical rhythms when the garment is worn and moved during dance sessions.
- Seed rattles: A seed rattle contains dry seeds or other substances and, just like clapsticks, can provide various rhythmic patterns based on their movements.
