UTS undertakes Indigenous-led and collaborative research in areas such as Indigenous policy and law, governance and empowerment, cultural resilience and data stewardship. Our research aims to improve outcomes, wellbeing and resilience for Indigenous communities.
Research students engaging with Indigenous knowledges and communities are supported by a range of faculties, facilities and experts.
