Relationships

At UniSA, we employ a two-way approach to our business which brings Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples together in the spirit of reciprocity and collaboration. Strong relationships are crucial to our work and set the foundation for our engagement and partnerships in the community. We continuously seek to support and enable our staff, students and partners to build genuine, respectful relationships with First Nations Peoples across Australia. We strive to form lasting connections at the University, which are mutually beneficial, provide opportunities and enable positive Aboriginal futures.
