Avondale aims 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.

If you would like to meet with someone to discuss your needs, Indigenous support staff are located at the Lake Macquarie and Sydney campus and are available to provide advice or guidance with any questions, concerns or problems you may have.
