Indigenous community support

Monash University has undertaken several initiatives to address inequalities faced by Indigenous communities, including the launch of the Monash Rural Health Aboriginal and Torres Strait Framework in Mildura, participation in the AIATSIS Summit 2024, and the repatriation of the Gamilaraay dhulu. These activities aim to enhance educational and career opportunities, support Treaty discussions, and promote cultural resilience:

• The Monash Rural Health Aboriginal and Torres Strait Framework aims to increase Indigenous student participation in healthcare degrees and integrate Aboriginal knowledge into the curriculum, launched in Mildura.



• Monash University sponsored and participated in the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Summit 2024, showcasing Indigenous-led research and supporting Treaty discussions.
• The return of a Gamilaraay dhulu from a Swiss museum to Australia, facilitated by Monash University, underscores cultural resilience and the importance of Indigenous heritage.
