Deadly careers at Federation
We aim to employ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across all areas of the University and TAFE, in a diverse range of occupations and classification types.
Acknowledgement of Country
Federation University Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which our campuses, centres and field stations are located, and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Federation University Australia also acknowledges the continuing and unceded sovereignty of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations.
