Indigenous Services
Indigenous Services is located in the Buranga Centre, on the ground floor of Building C (CG.75). We work to support the University-wide vision for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to enjoy the same life opportunities as non-Indigenous Australians in a society which values equality, diversity and the contributions of all.
Indigenous Services helps to achieve this by:
- Delivering cultural awareness workshops for staff and students;
- Developing and implementing the whole of University's approach to Reconciliation
- Developing support programs and student facilities for students;
- Developing strategies to employ more Indigenous staff across University;
- Organising cultural activities and events within University, eg annual Indigenous Education Symposium;
- Providing academic support to students;
- Providing a friendly Indigenous presence on campus and a contact point for students, staff and community members;
- Providing the University with information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and knowledge;
- Supplying library; laptop and other resources to students as and when required; and
- Supporting career choices and assisting with employment options;
