Indigenous
Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Unit comprises a Koorie Liaison Officer (KLO) and Koorie Student Support Officer (KSSO). Students studying at Box Hill Institute who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander can make an appointment with our ATSI Unit who can assist with such things as enrolment, ABSTUDY, tutoring, and employment, to mention a few. The ATSI Unit also provides cultural advice and assistance throughout the Institute through activities, class discussions, community information and cultural awareness. Our KLO and KSSO can link you in with our other Student Life services such as accessibility and counselling.

Tamara Charles
Box Hill CampusSenior Koorie Liaison Officer
My name is Tamara, I’m a proud Yorta-Yorta woman from Cummeragunja. My connections run throughout Victoria, including Shepparton, Barmah and Mooroopna. I have previously worked with our first nations people to upskill, become job ready and to assist with setting future goals. I have a passion for community engagement, as I believe connecting with our mob and connecting with country is important for all my Indigenous brothers and sisters. Education and self-development changes the path for a better future for us all.
