Indigenous Engagement
We acknowledge and pay respects to the Elders and Traditional Owners of the land on which our four Australian campuses stand.

Indigenous engagement
Monash was the first university in Australia to establish a dedicated Indigenous centre: the Monash Centre for Research into Aboriginal Affairs. Monash Yulendj Indigenous Engagement Unit, renamed to the William Cooper Institute, also helps Indigenous students and staff achieve their aspirations – and our policies and procedures respect their cultures and histories.
Aligned with the University’s broader commitment, Monash Faculty of IT is dedicated to increasing the participation and success of Indigenous students and staff. We embed Indigenous perspectives and content into the curriculum and continually undertake projects with Indigenous researchers and communities to make meaningful contributions.
