Indigenous research development
Swinburne is committed to self-determining, collaborative, innovative, impactful and reciprocal research and enterprise partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities, organisations, businesses and entrepreneurs.
Under the leadership of the Moondani Toombadool Centre and the National Centre for Reconciliation Practice, Swinburne is guided by, and engages with, the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Guidelines for Ethical Research in Australian Indigenous Studies (GERAIS).
What is the Moondani Toombadool Centre?
Established in 2018, the Moondani Toombadool Centre is responsible for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander matters at Swinburne, including governance, student services, teaching and learning, research, staff, culture, engagement and governance.
Reconciliation at Swinburne
Swinburne also has the National Centre for Reconciliation Practice that leads national academic, industry and community understandings of reconciliation, and contributes to national systemic change in reconciliation.
