Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples

The University of Queensland is committed to the employment, career development and support of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognises their contributions to its community in academic and professional roles and at all levels across UQ. 

The UQ Strategic Plan 2022-2025 outlines how the strategies and objectives align with our mission and core purpose to

• deliver for the public good through excellence in education, research and engagement with our communities and partners: local, national and global.

We strive to play a leading role in reconciliation, as advocates with and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. At a national level, in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, we will embed reconciliation across the University’s operations. 

Embedded within our reconciliation action plans will be objectives specifically aimed at increasing the representation and development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples employed at UQ at all levels in both professional and academic roles.
