  On behalf of �鶹Ӱ��’s members, we present to you the second annual report required by the �鶹Ӱ��’s Indigenous Strategy 2022–2025.

  �鶹Ӱ��, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Indigenous Committee, and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Higher Education Consortium would like to acknowledge the significant contributions UA’s members undertook in completing this year’s annual survey, using the new survey software and data collection method.

  We are pleased that the findings of this report provide further evidence of the significant contributions Indigenous peoples are continuing to make in the higher education sector. Many colleges and schools are experiencing the benefits of incorporating Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, and being into their curricula. Additionally, an increasing number of Senior Executive teams are benefiting from the inclusion of Senior Indigenous leaders and their expertise.

  �鶹Ӱ�� Indigenous Strategy Annual Report (July 2023)

  The launch of the UA Indigenous Strategy 2022-2025 demonstrates the Australian university sector’s ongoing commitment to supporting the advancement of Indigenous peoples within and through universities. The strategy’s five key themes reflect a systemic approach to this cause.

  There is always more work to be done, yet this first annual report since the launch of the new strategy provides valuable insights into the progress made by member universities, including specific recruitment activities and programs for Indigenous students, governance mechanisms to ensure Indigenous representation, and efforts to promote awareness of Indigenous values and knowledges among graduates.

  As the peak representative body for the sector, �鶹Ӱ�� acknowledges its responsibility to collaborate with the sector to further advance the strategy’s commitments. The annual reporting process will continue to be an important tool for charting progress, sharing good practice and identifying areas requiring further action.
