Abstract

Indigenous participation and achievement in education is an issue of national and international significance. Within Australia, the Review of Higher Education Access and Outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People-often referred to as the Behrendt Review-provided a clear blueprint for investing in policies and programmes that support Indigenous pathways, transitions, participation and achievement in higher education.
