Aboriginal Student Support

Avondale wants to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students during their program of study. On this page you will find a number of links to other sites that can assist you either personally or professionally as you complete your study program.

There is also a student who is a member of Academic Board who represents Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student's interests in the governing of Avondale. The student representative for 2011 is Aaron Ralph.
