Acknowledgement of Country
In Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, it is respectful to formally womin djeka (welcome) people to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander country or land. At RMIT we do this with the following acknowledgement:
“We would like to acknowledge Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations as the Traditional Owners of the land on which the University stands. We respectfully recognise Elders past and present.”
At RMIT, we recognise and respect the unique culture and contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people bring to our communities. We are also proud to provide study, cultural, and personal support to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in their learning journey. We womin djeka you to further explore and experience more about Australian Indigenous culture by visiting our Ngarara Willim Centres (Indigenous education centres) and interacting with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and students.
