What our students say
"During my Psychology degree, I received a UQ Advantage Grant that allowed me to volunteer in a remote area of the Northern Territory. Many Indigenous communities have limited access to crucial services, especially for young people. Each day a teammate and I would organise and run craft, sport, cooking, and leisure activities. The experience contextualised my studies and illuminated the need to think critically, especially when faced with stereotypes of Indigenous Australians. I did an assignment on Indigenous child health for a public policy course and become very interested and passionate about Indigenous Australians and the issues associated with policy throughout history. I feel that being in a community put a practical and very real perspective on the information I had researched." Paige
