Facts and figures

  • First in Australia

    We were the first university in Australia to have a dedicated Australian Indigenous Centre – the Monash Centre for Research into Aboriginal Affairs, established in 1964.

    1st

  • Group of Eight

    Monash is a leading Group of Eight university in Australia, offering elite education, groundbreaking research, and a strong global reputation.

  • Commitment to Indigenous peoples

    Monash University supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart, a First Nations Voice to Parliament, and Treaty and truth-telling processes in Victoria.

At Monash Arts, we believe that Indigenous knowledge, culture, and leadership are vital to shaping a more just, inclusive, and creative future. Our faculty is home to world-class research and teaching in the humanities, social sciences, music and performing arts — and we are stronger when Indigenous perspectives are at the heart of that work.

We offer flexible career pathways, mentoring, and opportunities to engage in meaningful cultural programs, including On Country experiences and heritage research. Monash Arts also includes the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre, supporting an active research program into Indigenous issues.

I warmly invite you to explore the opportunities available at Monash Arts and to join a community that is committed to truth-telling, reconciliation, and shared success.
