The strategy document currently outlines eight key objectives:

Promote a sense of belonging and inclusion for Indigenous students through creative practices, nurturing partnerships, and leadership opportunities, while enhancing academic programs to empower Indigenous retention and student success.

Empower a culturally safe workplace environment which encourages Indigenous Australians to pursue meaningful career opportunities and promote professional growth, enabling long-term success

Foster a research culture that empowers Indigenous researchers; and delivers meaningful outcomes for Indigenous communities, grounded in ethics and strong community impact

Magnify Indigenous learning and teaching through enhanced curriculum, pedagogical practice and scholarship.

Establish and sustain respectful, collaborative partnerships with Indigenous communities and people through structured, inclusive engagement that supports mutual priorities and long-term relationship-building.

Recognise, respect, and promote the diversity and strength of Indigenous cultural knowledges as foundational to identity, learning, caring for Country and community wellbeing.

Centre and support Indigenous leadership and governance by upholding self-determination, cultural authority, and decision-making across all levels of the University.

Commit to institutional truth-telling about the ongoing impacts of colonisation and associated injustices, by amplifying Indigenous narratives, creating a more accurate account of Australia’s history to recognise the strength and contribution of Indigenous peoples
