About us
The Centre for Aboriginal Studies (CAS) is an Indigenous-managed research and education centre that contributes to positive social change for Aboriginal Australians. We offer undergraduate, postgraduate and research courses, and we also provide an empowering and supportive base for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students studying any course at Curtin.
Aboriginal control and leadership
We have a policy of Aboriginal control and leadership, and we ensure that the philosophies of self-determination and self-management are actively practised. Our policy is based on a firm foundation of Aboriginal community involvement: a two-way circulation of ideas, influences and practices that ensures culturally appropriate education.
Our building and facilities
We have a range of facilities and equipment for students and researchers in our purpose-built building on the Curtin Bentley Campus.
