Indigenous Student support staff and services

Welcome to all new and returning students! We’re here to support you every step of the way - from the moment you start exploring your study options to graduation and beyond. With a wide range of services and facilities, we’re ready to provide you with the tools you need to reach your goals, no matter where you’re studying. At the Bebegu Yumba (Townsville) campus, the Nguma-bada (Cairns) campus, a regional study centre, or from home as an off-campus student, you’ll have access to academic support, career guidance, well-being resources, and more. From personalised tutoring sessions to workshops on time management, study skills, and exam preparation, we’re here to empower you on your path to success.

There is no question too big or too small; we are dedicated to supporting you, our future leaders! Many of these services, including our advisors, are funded through the Indigenous Student Success Program (ISSP), ensuring they are free and accessible to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
