INDSL3001 Contemporary Issues in Indigenous Australia (1967-)
This course explores the diversity and complexity of Indigenous societies and experiences in the post-1967 period within a framework foregrounding Indigenous perspectives. This period has witnessed both tremendous change and significant continuities in terms of Indigenous experiences and identities, as well as the policymaking approaches Australian governments have adopted in relation to Indigenous affairs. The course examines a variety of social and political issues of concern to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities from an interdisciplinary perspective incorporating historical, sociological and Indigenous approaches to understanding, interpreting and responding to such issues. Students will explore issues relating to human rights, social justice, power, identity, race and racism, representation, socioeconomic disadvantage, health, criminal justice, child removal, native title, reconciliation, sovereignty and self-determination.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
