Griffith University supports Indigenous students to thrive through the ISSP partnership

Griffith University works in partnership with the Australian Government to improve higher education outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through the delivery of the Indigenous Student Success Program (ISSP).

The development of the ISSP was informed by recommendations in the 2012 Review of Higher Education Access and Outcomes for Torres Strait Islander People. The ISSP commenced in January 2017 and provides supplementary funding to universities to support Indigenous Australians to take on the demands of university and to not only succeed but thrive in their academic journey.

Through ISSP, universities can offer a range of services including scholarships, tutorial assistance, mentoring, safe cultural spaces and other personal support services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The flexibility of the ISSP allows us to tailor our services to match the unique needs of our students, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

Griffith University is required to provide an annual Performance Report and Financial Acquittal to the Australian Government and to publish them on the university website.
