Indigenous engagement is a high priority within CAEPR, reflecting in our ongoing commitment across a range of areas, as detailed in the CAEPR Strategic Plan 2009-2011.

CAEPR's Visiting Indigenous Fellowship program provides an opportunity for Indigenous scholars to collaborate with researchers at CAEPR, in order for them to transfer their newly acquired or further developed research skills and research outcomes back to their base community or region for practical application.

Indigenous researchers are often invited to present their research plans and findings through the CAEPR seminar series.

As part of the ANU, CAEPR maintains close links with Jabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre. The ANU also offers a range of scholarships for Indigenous postgraduate students.
