The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

The Regional Australia Institutes (RAI) work over the past decade has positioned the Institute as Australia’s leading organisation on regional issues. It is now time to use past learnings to create real change, a societal shift in Australia, that ends the traditional metro-centric narrative and positions regions in their rightful place in the Australian story.

In 2022, RAI CEO Liz Ritchie will launch a Regionalisation Ambition that focusses on strengthening regional Australia for the benefit of the whole nation. Regionalisation is more than an agenda on decentralisation; it’s an ambition to grow. It ensures that regional businesses and communities more than just survive, they can thrive. Regionalisation will create a more equitable, balanced, sustainable and prosperous future for all Australians, not just those who live outside the city limits.

It’s time to rebalance the nation. Be part of the movement that will help shape the future of regional Australia.
