Towards 2033 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander plan

Our Towards 2033 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Plan sets out how we will strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student success, embed cultural responsiveness and work with community through genuine partnership. It guides practical action across the university aligning with 糖心原创’s Vision 2033 – where First Nations knowledges and cultures are recognised, respected, and made visible in the way 糖心原创 learns, teaches, and pursues knowledge for human flourishing.

Indigenous Higher Education Units

Are you looking for inspiration? Do you study better in a group? Or do you just need to sit somewhere comfortable with your laptop? Whichever way you study or take a break, we have a place - just for you.

You’ll find these places (dedicated spaces called IHEUs - Indigenous Higher Education Units) on each campus. Each IHEU is welcoming and supportive. You can connect with other students and staff, make friends, ask questions, and get answers.

Drop into the IHEU on your campus and see for yourself. Talk to our team

Welcome to Country

A Welcome to Country generally occurs at significant events and is given by a local Elder who is a traditional owner. It can take many forms depending on the culture of the traditional owners and can include singing, dancing, smoking ceremonies, or a speech in traditional language.

Acknowledgement of Country

An Acknowledgement of Country is an opportunity for anyone to show respect for Traditional Owners and the continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country.
