Indigenous Education
View
Monash continued to increase the number of Indigenous student enrolments in 2023, with 365 students enrolled across undergraduate, postgraduate and higher degree by research levels (up from approximately 12 per cent on 2022 enrolments).
The University built on this momentum in 2023 through several Indigenous student recruitment initiatives, including delivering a four-day Indigenous experience camp in September and providing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Year 10–12 students with an in-depth insight into University life. Monash representatives also attended community events and facilitated ongoing recruitment initiatives for secondary school students, often in collaboration with partners, including Koorie Education Support Officers.
