ICMS principles state:
"In Australia, whichever of the two names of the same feature that is
most likely to be used by the local community is to be used first in a
sequence [Refer Appendix A, § 4.5]. The sequence of the name should be
reviewed at regular intervals. If a visual separator is required, it
shall be a solidus preceded and followed by a space ‘. / . ‘."
Which is why in NSW most dual names are *currently* rendered "European
name / Aboriginal name".
The latest vector tiles from DCS Spatial Service have these names
rendered on them:

(See Fort Denison or Shark Island for examples).
All this seems to support the following approach in OSM (basically what
Phil said)
name:Bradleys Head / Booraghee
name:en=Bradleys Head
name:aus=Booraghee (replace 'aus' if definitively known)
cheers

I think including a "slash" character in a name tag is really ugly.
That's not the way that the GNB record them. Unless someone can find
some information on the ground that records it that way?
Ian, I stand corrected. NSW National Parks use a dash, not a slash, in
the example I gave from The Rock Nature Reserve - Kengal Aboriginal
Place. Sorry for the confusion.
Having said that, Australian geographic names boards do use slashes for
dual names. This extract is from the Vic Gov guidelines…
“If a visual separator is required for clarity, it should be a solidus (
/ ) preceded and followed by a space…. The following examples would be
acceptable:
Nambruc / Aberfeldy State Forest
Colquhoun State Forest / Boyanga Gidi.”
“Dual names once registered are to be used in full, shortened versions
are not to be used.”
(Hence dual names are not seen as alternatives.)
From “Naming rules for places in Victoria 2022 - Statutory requirements
for naming roads, features and localities”
https://www.land.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/word_doc/0018/501093/Official-Naming-rules-for-places-in-Victoria-2022.docx
The Vic Gov report refers to the National “Principles for the Consistent
Use of Place Names. Includes Principles for the Use of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Place Names and Dual Naming Depiction Principles”
which also recommends that a “solidus” (i.e. a slash) is the recommended
standard.
