Centring Indigenous student wellbeing in Australian universities

Indigenous student success and experience have been a focus for Australian universities for many decades as universities aim to increase student enrolments, retention, and completion rates. However, student success is largely dependent on student wellbeing. Despite this, there is a paucity of research that centres on the voices and experiences of Indigenous students’ wellbeing. Universities need to do better at supporting and leveraging Indigenous students’ wellbeing holistically. This chapter will centre Indigenous students’ wellbeing experiences and voices by drawing on the latest research and wider Indigenous scholarly knowledge to inform future theory, research, and practice.
