We acknowledge Adelaide University’s footprint on Country, with our locations across South Australia and beyond, which rest on the traditional lands of Australia’s First Nations Peoples.
Adelaide University operates across Country in South Australia and beyond, including Kaurna, Boandik and Barngarla Countries and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. These places are living, connected and shaped by enduring cultural knowledge and relationships.
For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have cared for and learned from these lands. These knowledge systems remain central to how we understand place and responsibility today.
For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Country is more than a physical place. It encompasses lands, waters and skies, and the deep cultural, spiritual and social relationships connected to them.
Adelaide University’s work extends beyond campuses through teaching, health, outreach and community-based programs delivered across metropolitan, regional and remote South Australia. Our campuses and learning environments are connected to Country in different ways.
These activities are shaped by local context and developed in partnership with communities, reflecting the knowledge, priorities and leadership of the places we work.
