The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student Advisory Group was established in March 2024, following a meeting of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. This dedicated advisory group works collaboratively with The Arts Unit to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are meaningfully integrated into all aspects of our work.

The group plays a vital role in:

  • Providing guidance on events and programs
  • Contributing to policy development
  • Ensuring cultural safety and inclusion
  • Advising on implementation strategies

Through this student-led initiative, we strengthen our commitment to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives across The Arts Unit's activities. The advisory group ensures that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are central to our decision-making processes.
