Reconciliation at UQ
The University of Queensland (UQ) acknowledges and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as First Australians. For over 65,000 years, they’ve created and shared knowledge, culture, history and language.
We commit to uniting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, staff and communities in our teaching, learning, research and collaborations, so we all belong at UQ.
Our plans for reconciliation
We launched our initial Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in 2019, which helped us develop relationships with stakeholders and pilot strategies for achieving our commitments.
In 2024, we launched our new ‘Stretch’ RAP to expand and develop our initiatives. We hope to enable Indigenous excellence by crafting strategies that last and introducing performance indicators that matter, including Indigenous employment, research, procurement, cultural education, Indigenising our curriculum, and RAP governance.
