Our strategy

We acknowledge that the University of Melbourne is located on unceded Aboriginal lands, and that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are Australia’s First Peoples.

We commit to working in partnership with them to achieve the University’s core purpose: to benefit society through the transformative impact of education and research.

Murmuk Djerring, our five-year Indigenous Strategy, sets out ambitions for profound change, positioning the University as a national and global leader in Indigenous research and higher education, and advocating for Indigenous excellence.

It pledges to adopt bold, innovative and proactive approaches in collaborating with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, through 21 transformative projects aimed at embedding Indigenous perspectives across all University activities.
