Contributing to a safe university community is everyone’s responsibility. Learn how you can further create culturally safe learning and teaching spaces for our students.
ACU recently hosted a webinar on providing support and guidance, particularly within learning and teaching spaces, to our First Nations students during the referendum period.
The First Peoples Directorate and CEI wish to extend their thanks to the large number of staff that attended this important event and participated in the valuable discussion.
If you were unable to attend, you can watch the one-hour webinar recording below:
In addition to the resources made available, there are other steps that can be taken to create culturally safe learning and teaching spaces, and ways to support our First Nations students in particular:
There are on-campus hubs at all ACU campuses which offer academic, personal and cultural support to ACU students. The Indigenous Higher Education Units (IHEU) provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with a welcoming, culturally safe space to study and meet in an environment that promotes positive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identity.
Free study assistance can be provided to students through 1-on-1 tuition. If students are deemed at risk, flagged or at point of an appeal process, the IHEU can assist to show cause, or act as a conduit between support units and schools to encourage conversations with course coordinators and Lecturers in Charge about student progress.
Staff are encouraged to connect and form relationships with IHEU staff to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
For additional resources, please refer to the Voice to Parliament staff resource which provides valuable information to encourage respectful and informed dialogue.
Important resources that staff are encouraged to share with students include:
ACU Indigenous Higher Education Unit
ACU Voice to Parliament resource - with information and additional support services
ACU 24-hour Mental Health Support Line: phone - 1300 638 485 or text - 0488 884 191
