Indigenous Community Outreach and Engagement

Would you like someone from Ngarara Willim to visit your community or school? Or to arrange a group visit to an RMIT campus? Get in touch and we’ll arrange it.

We’re always happy to talk with Aboriginal community organisations and schools about how Ngarara Willim Centre and RMIT can support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to reach their education and career aspirations. We’re dedicated to supporting and empowering each person in their study journey, regardless of what stage of life they are in.

We can deliver informative and engaging events either on an RMIT campus or in your community. We visit both metro and regional locations.

During a visit, we’ll share information on tertiary study at RMIT University and the various programs and supports delivered through the Ngarara Willim Centre. 

We work with many community organisations and are eager to continue building ongoing relationships while supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to reach their study goals.

Types of engagement

In-community

We understand how important it is for mob to stay connected to their community and family. To help engage with all Indigenous Peoples, we can visit your community, school or organisation to discuss further study, deliver engaging programs and talk about the services Ngarara Willim Centre and RMIT provide to Indigenous Peoples. 

On-campus

Visit RMIT and get an on-campus experience! We’ll take you through the Ngarara Willim Centre, introduce you to some of our Indigenous staff and students, engage in cultural activites and take you on a campus tour to explore the rest of the university.

Program/study area information and activities

Is your group interested in a particular program (eg. Bachelor of Computer Science) or study area (eg. STEM, design, etc)? Let us know and we can arrange a relevant spokesperson or activity as part of an in-community or on-campus visit.
