Equity, diversity and inclusion

Watch video: UOW Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge that Country for Aboriginal peoples is an interconnected set of ancient and sophisticated relationships.

The University of Wollongong spreads across many interrelated Aboriginal Countries that are bound by this sacred landscape, and intimate relationship with that landscape since creation.

From Sydney to the Southern Highlands, to the South Coast.

From fresh water to bitter water to salt.

From City to Urban to Rural.

The University of Wollongong Acknowledges the Custodianship of the Aboriginal peoples of this place and space that has kept alive the relationships between all living things.

The University Acknowledges the devastating impact of colonisation on our campuses' footprint and commit ourselves to truth-telling, healing and education.

Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (March 2022-March 2024) statement of intent from BAL:

Over the next few years, the Faculty of Business and Law will continue to develop current RAP-related initiatives and endeavour to launch new ones. Among the current ones that will continue and acquire renewed emphasis and focus are: identification of current and developing of further Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content in subjects; and, in collaboration with the Woolyungah Centre, developing and providing appropriate support for our Indigenous students. In addition, we will be cultivating cultural safety through ongoing reflection and learning to foster respectful and trust-based reciprocal relationships with Indigenous staff, students, and the community. We will proactively seek and nurture community-based partnerships with Aboriginal Elders, knowledge holders, and organisations to enhance a care-based approach to developing the Indigenous talent pool.
