Course Convenors are responsible for assessing whether their courses contain Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander content and the course profile system will be used to collect that assessment in a systematic and efficient manner.

The data collated through the Course Profile system will enable the University to monitor the development of inclusive practices in the curriculum; identify good practice; and support colleagues in their efforts to implement the Strategic and Academic Plan targets. The information collated will also enable the University to benchmark its inclusion of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander course content.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content may take several forms, however, there are two ways in which the University has identified its presence in the curriculum.

  • Course includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander embedded content: curriculum content embedded in a course within a broad subject or topic; and
  • Whole course is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specific:  curriculum content designed as a stand-alone course addressing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content as its primary focus.

There are many ways in which this Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content manifests in course curriculum.

This section has been designed to identify whether the course contains elements relating to Aboriginal and/or Torre Strait Islander content.

Convenors are required to select the applicable Yes/No radio buttons in response to 'does the course contain elements relating to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander content?' Where 'yes' has been selected further questions will be displayed.

Please refer to the University's Definition of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Course Content policy.
