Indigenous policy presents significant challenges and opportunities, requiring specialised understanding and expertise. With the Indigenous Policy and Development Specialisation you'll learn from the experts, including staff from Australia's leading centre on First Nations economic and public policy issues - The Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR) and practitioners working in government departments, and First Nations organisations and communities. You will graduate with an understanding of First Nations views and approaches to development, and be able to apply them to Indigenous policy and development activities, particularly in the Australian context.
