Community
The Centre for Indigenous Education acts as a central hub in the University for many things relating to Indigenous education and culture. As our website artwork shows, “University seeds of knowledge are being planted in the minds of future Indigenous leaders” and we believe it is a reflection of the Centre's commitment to the support and education of Australia's Indigenous people. Find out more on our web artwork and Artist Jirra Harvey below.
Welcome to Country
To find out further information on Indigenous protocols in relation to Welcome to Country are wide and diverse and will vary according to region and locality.
Indigenous Units
The University has had a long history of Indigenous involvement of education, research and support of Indigenous students and academics via various Indigenous Units located within the University. Prof Ian Anderson's Indigenous health research unit is one exemplary example. Many Indigenous academics teach under the Australian Indigenous Studies Program now located within the School of Communication and Culture and the outreach programs run by the Academy of Sport Health and Recreation located in Shepparton.
Find out more on what each unit does on our Indigenous Units page along with some affiliated organisations.
