For Our Elders.
“Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families.
They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones”.
What changes are you making to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples?
We encourage the Curtin and wider communities to see, hear and learn from our First Nations peoples.
Hear from some of our Curtin students as they explain what changes they are making to ‘get up, stand up and show up’ with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Progressing reconciliation
At Curtin, we have a long history of leading reconciliation in higher education. We have been delivering education programs with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples since the 1970s, and in 2008 joined the national Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) program, becoming the first teaching and research institution to develop and implement a RAP.
We have since continued our commitment to reconciliation by supporting the Uluru Statement from the Heart and progressing the Nowanup Bush Campus. We will continue to listen to First Nations peoples as we map out the next steps in our reconciliation journey.
