Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners

The University of Western Australia acknowledges the custodians and traditional custodians and traditional owners of land on which any of its campuses are located.

At the main camps, Crawley, the University acknowledges the Whadjuk Noongar people as the traditional owners of the land on which it is situated. The Whadjuk Noongar remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of their land, and continue to practice their languages, beliefs and knowledge.

Join us at Bilya Marlee

In 2020, the School of Indigenous Studies moved into our new home, Bilya Marlee, meaning ‘river of the swan’. This purpose-built facility is also home to the Centre for Aboriginal Medical and Dental Health (CAMDH) and Poche Centre for Indigenous Health.

Bilya Marlee offers informal learning spaces, collaborative learning and spill-out spaces, and a variety of research and postgraduate offices.
