Southern Cross University

Providing meaningful opportunities for Indigenous Australian students to achieve at their full potential.

Our focus on community has created an environment that supports everyone to achieve their ambitions. Working with our First Peoples community, Southern Cross has a range of events, support services and initiatives that encourage First People’s higher education endeavours and career aspirations.

We acknowledge Widjabal Country as the Country where Southern Cross University originated and grew, and from where it continues to grow. It seeded the growth of our Gumbaynggirr Campus in Coffs Harbour, our Yugambeh Campus in Coolangatta and it planted the seeds to transform the Countries we are on.

Understanding our origins will make each step into the future a more purposeful one, leading all to transform tomorrow.
