About the Kulbardi Aboriginal Centre

Kulbardi is located on the grounds of Murdoch University’s main campus and also has an office and study facilities on the Rockingham campus.

Kulbardi offers: 

• educational pathways, via pre-tertiary enabling programs, into undergraduate studies
• undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Australian Indigenous Studies (including a joint degree in Primary Education/AIS)
• research expertise
• media and film services, through Kulbardi Productions,
• one-on-one tutorial support for Indigenous students (under the ITAS scheme)
• friendship and cultural strength in a safe, supportive and friendly environment
• cultural leadership for the University.

One of  Kulbardi's main objective is to encourage increased participation in tertiary education by Indigenous students through its innovative enabling courses,  K-Track and  Kulbardi Wangkiny (Pre-Media).

Another of our principal objectives is to provide undergraduate and postgraduate students with the opportunity to develop a sophisticated and critical understanding of their and their nation's relationship to Indigeneity. Kulbardi therefore offers a comprehensive and dynamic  Bachelor of Arts in Australian Indigenous Studies (AIS), as well as an Honours program in AIS for those students interested in progressing to doctoral studies.

Kulbardi proudly caters for the needs of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students undertaking one or more of its courses.
