And we make an impact:
UniSA’s foundation recognises Aboriginal education, and we have long been a strong advocate for reconciliation. The UniSA Act 1990 established the University, and set at its core, legislative commitments to provide opportunities for Aboriginal Peoples and education, building on the strong foundation set by its antecedent institutions. We were the first university in South Australia to issue a statement of commitment to reconciliation, and we remain committed to Aboriginal education as we are embarking on our third RAP. Importantly, this plan is informed by several pivotal global, national and sector pieces, such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2007, the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation Act 1991 and the Universities Australia Indigenous Strategy 2022-2025; and is complemented and supported by internal academic, research and employment strategic plans, including UniSA’s Academic Enterprise Plan 2021-2025, Aboriginal Research Strategy 2019-2025 and the Yaitya Warpulai Tappa (Aboriginal Employment Action Plan) – the latter of which will be released in late 2023.
