First Nations Portfolio

First Nations Portfolio

The advancement of Australia’s Indigenous people is a core responsibility for ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ (ANU).

As Australia’s only national university, ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµdrives research, debate, dialogue, advocacy, and analysis on the relationship between Indigenous Australians and the Australian nation. 

In 2020, ANU established the First Nations Portfolio (FNP) to strengthen this nation-building role and ensure that ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµcontributes meaningfully to national policy and dialogue. 

FNP is led by inaugural Vice-President (First Nations) Professor Peter Yu, a Yawuru man from Broome with more than 40 years of experience in Indigenous development and advocacy in the Kimberley and at the state, national and international level.
