Graduate research program

The program brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander PhD scholars from across the MDHS Faculty. We offer culturally safe and responsive academic support on your PhD journey.

Opportunities to come together as a cohort include the Narrm Connect events, masterclasses by leading researchers, dedicated writing sessions and more.

Contact Tahlia Eastman, Indigenous Graduate Research Program Coordinator to find out more.
