Our Indigenous students and staff will be supported, increasing retention rates across all areas of the University.

We will work with Indigenous people and be guided by Indigenous knowledges to look after and promote country and culture. We will embed the use of traditional knowledge into our campus design and planning processes.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
