In order to be considered for entry, applicants must:
- be recognised as Indigenous Australians or Torres Strait Islanders; and
- have a minimum of five years of full-time documented relevant training and work experience (or part-time equivalent); and
- attend an informal interview.
Indigenous applicants will be required to provide documents affirming they are eligible for this pathway. These documents must affirm you:
- are an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person by descent
- identify as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, and
- are accepted as such within the community in which you live or have lived.
More information is available on the Murrup Barak website. The Murrup Barak Outreach and Engagement Team can talk through with you what kind of documents are required.
Applicants are not required to have an undergraduate degree, but you are asked to provide a statement outlining at least five (5) years of full-time relevant training and work experience (or part--time equivalent)
Applicants will also be invited to an interview to discuss training and experience and ability to complete the course.
Prospective Indigenous applicants are strongly encouraged to make contact with the faculty Indigenous Student Support Officer via mdhs-indigenous-admissions@unimelb.edu.au to receive advice about the direct application process. Indigenous applicants who don’t meet the entry requirements are also encouraged to get in touch with the Indigenous Student Support Officer.
