Abstract

This book chapter provides an overview of the support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander higher degree by research (HDR) students at one Australian university as a case study. The hiring of an Indigenous postgraduate program officer (IPPO) was informed by capability building workshops offered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HDR students through the National Indigenous Research and Knowledges Network (NIRAKN). Presented in this book chapter is the support requested by the HDR students and an overview of the IPPO’s role in supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HDR students.
