Intake 2024/25 Our vision for Aboriginal engagement at the University of Tasmania is to:
The University will accomplish these outcomes through actions guided by several key principles:
Palawa/Pakana-centred - As a place-based university, our focus is on outreach and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to realise their personal and community aspirations.
Collaborative - The success of Aboriginal business at the University of Tasmania is the product of collaborative engagement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff with colleagues who bring their own diverse knowledges, experiences and cultures to the challenge of our strategic goals.
Support and Teaching - As a smaller institution, students at the University of Tasmania have greater opportunity to access and build relationships with teaching and professional staff over the years of their studies. Sustained and personalised care and learning is critical to the retention and success of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students.
A Model for Innovation and Success - The programs and initiatives of the University of Tasmania stand as national and international models for innovation; to recognise and value Indigenous cultures and knowledges, and to make the livelihood and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples a central concern.
