Reconciliation

Our vision for reconciliation

Reconciliation at the University of South Australia (UniSA) means ensuring an environment where two-way knowledge sharing, and respect for our collective histories and cultures, are common practice in our learning journey.

We continue to be a University of Choice for Aboriginal Peoples. To us this means that we continue to build an ethical and respectful community that is culturally intelligent and inclusive; recognises and enables the varied pathways to higher education and celebrates lived experiences; and empowers individual choice, aspiration and success. We actively promote Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples coming together in the spirit of reciprocity. We are continuing to work collaboratively across our teaching, research, employment, and community engagement activities for the benefit and self-determination of First Nations Peoples across Australia now and into the future.

2023 UniSA launched its Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan 2023–2025.

2014 UniSA was the first University in South Australia to launch a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The plan provided a framework for building relationships, deepening respect, and providing more opportunities for Aboriginal Peoples. The launch featured the first public showing of the ‘Spirit of the Campus’ painting, commissioned for the RAP from the artist Rikurani, as well as a painting created by students and staff during Reconciliation Week 2013 which is based on the ‘Spirit of the Campus’.
