Our team bring together their diverse perspectives, expertise and experiences, enabling us to provide students with an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Through our research, teaching and engagement, we strive to promote Indigenous empowerment, resilience and wellbeing.
You can find us at Bilya Marlee – meaning ‘river of the swan’ and the home of the School of Indigenous Studies at UWA. We’re always here to have a yarn and can offer support and advice with any tutoring, accommodation and wellbeing needs.
