Since commencing on 1 January 2017, the Indigenous Student Success Program (ISSP) has provided extra funding to universities to support Indigenous students to access and thrive in higher education.
At Bond University, ISSP funding helps deliver personalised services through the Nyombil Centre, designed to help Indigenous students succeed both academically and personally.
Indigenous Tutoring Program
Bond’s Indigenous Tutoring Program is free for eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. It is designed to help you participate fully and confidently in your chosen field of study.
Tutors take a holistic approach, offering support with academic skills and helping you adjust to university life. They are trained to assist with everything from assignments and study techniques to navigating your transition to Bond.
Indigenous Education and Workforce Strategy
Bond University’s Indigenous Education and Workforce Strategy is guided by the Indigenous Consultative Committee (ICC), a Standing Committee of the Academic Senate. The ICC provides strategic direction and oversight for all Indigenous programs and initiatives at Bond.
The committee is responsible for:
- Developing and overseeing Bond’s Indigenous Education Strategy and Indigenous Workplace Strategy
- Advising on the Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) process
- Recommending how resources are allocated for Indigenous programs, including the University’s Indigenous Scholarship Program and ISSP grants
The ICC is chaired by the Provost, Bond’s most senior Indigenous staff member. Its members include:
- A community Elder
- Our Elder in Residence, Uncle John Graham
- Six Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander professional and academic staff
- Two Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student representatives
- Four non-Indigenous staff members
