Indigenous Education: Overview

Indigenous Education subject guide

Wominjeka, womindjika, gulpa gaka, welcome to your subject guide to support Indigenous Education.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains images, voices and names of deceased persons.

Some material on this website may contain words, descriptions and terms which may be culturally sensitive and that reflect authors’ views, or those of the period in which the content was created, but may not be considered appropriate today.

Indigenous Engagement Centres

The Indigenous Engagement Centres across the Metro and Regional campuses play an important role in supporting our Aboriginal students by providing them with a welcoming environment at all times and assisting them, where required, to find the TAFE course of their choice, getting enrolled and starting their training. Most students engage in the TAFE course of their choice at the institute and use the IEC for social activities or support (if required). We also conduct several events throughout the year, celebrating Aboriginal and Indigenous culture and key milestones to which all the students are invited along with their friends and family. See more:
