ECU Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Strategy for research

ECU is committed to working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities towards reconciliation.

We are also proud to have a number of outstanding researchers, some of whom have Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds. At ECU we leverage this expertise to provide insight into culturally appropriate conduct and protocols in research relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
