From the President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Margaret Gardner AC

Monash University recognises that its Australian campuses are located on the unceded lands of the people of the Kulin Nations, and pays its respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. Monash is committed to supporting and contributing to The Uluru Statement from the Heart process for a First Nations Voice to the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia, and Treaty discussions in the state of Victoria and the Yoo-rrook Justice Commission.

Established in 1958, Monash is an international, high-quality and globally-recognised University, distinguished for excellent and innovative education and research and an entrepreneurial and inclusive culture.

Released in 2021, our new decadal Strategic Plan, Impact 2030, articulates Monash’s ambition to address the global challenges of our age – climate change, geopolitical security and fostering thriving communities. Through our education and research, in partnership with industry, government and community, we seek to create real and lasting change for all.

The position of Pro Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous) (PVCI) represents a significant opportunity for the successful candidate to build on the momentum created by our foundational PVCI, Professor Jacinta Elston. As a member of the Vice-Chancellor’s Executive Committee, the PVCI’s vision, enthusiasm and thought leadership, translated into action, will help strengthen University engagement with community. The appointee will also support the goals and values of Impact 2030 and contribute towards a society that recognises, respects, includes and celebrates Indigenous peoples, cultures and knowledges.

I hope you will consider this important and exciting opportunity to become part of our senior management team.

Professor Margaret Gardner AC
President and Vice-Chancellor
