Indigenous engagement

Focusing on relationships, respect and opportunities.

At the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, we take a leadership role and use our sphere of influence to drive reconciliation throughout Queensland.

We connect and collaborate with community organisations, academics and allies, government, industry and other partners through research hubs and centres. These relationships aim to deliver societal, economic and policy benefits for Indigenous Australians.

We’re committed to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to flourish through a range of initiatives, including pathways, scholarships and embedding Indigenous knowledge and perspectives throughout the curriculum.
