Pick up a printed guide from the entrance to our library. While you’re here, why not stop by our café, open weekdays, for a coffee and a bite to eat? 💚

❤️ Meet Stella, one of our Occupational Therapy students, who had the opportunity to learn from Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and Elders on Country.

Our future health practitioners are learning the importance of listening, acknowledging the history, stories and connections shared with them through their time on Country.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of reflection, including Native Nourish for the beautiful bush food-inspired catering. 🌿

There’s still time to experience the exhibition at the Deakin Hydrogen Hub until this Friday, 16 October, from 10am to 3pm.
