Research

In late 1996 Wollotuka was successful in obtaining Commonwealth funds to establish an Indigenous Australian Higher Education Research Centre, which was subsequently named Umulliko and commenced its operations in 1997. An external review of the University's Aboriginal Education and Research Training programs was conducted in 1999 and amongst its recommendations was that the operations of Wollotuka and Umulliko should be merged. For a guide to research facilities and activities within Wollotuka School of Aboriginal Studies please visit the Umulliko Indigenous Higher Education Research Centre site.
