At Curtin, we are committed to embedding voices and perspectives of First Nations peoples at the forefront of our decision making to create an environment in which everyone thrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We first began delivering education programs to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the 1970s. Since then, First Nations and non-Indigenous staff and students at Curtin have continued to work together to shape learning, teaching and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our ongoing commitment to advancing reconciliation and contributing to an Australian society that values and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage is embedded in our Curtin 2030 Strategic Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n

Acknowledgement of Country<\/h2>\n \n \n

Curtin University acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the First Peoples of this place we call Australia, and recognises them for caring for Country for more than 60,000 years. We are honoured and grateful for the privilege to maintain campuses in Boorloo (Perth) and Karlkurla (Kalgoorlie). We pay our respects to Elders past and present as Custodians and Owners of these lands. We recognise their deep knowledge and their cultural, spiritual and educational practices, and aspire to learn and teach in partnership with them.<\/p>\n

We also acknowledge First Nations peoples connected with our global campuses. We are committed to working in partnership with all Custodians and Owners to strengthen and embed First Nations\u2019 voices and perspectives in our decision-making, now and into the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n \n \"\"\n\n \n<\/mimas-block>\n\n\n \n\n \n\n
