Indigenous Health and Wellbeing

At La Trobe University, we acknowledge that our campuses are located on the lands of many Traditional Custodians in Victoria. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen, and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to elders past and present and we recognise their ongoing connection to their lands. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

A specialist Indigenous Wellbeing service is currently being developed. Information about this program will be coming soon.

13Yarn (13 92 76) is a free support line with free, confidential crisis support 24/7 run by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
