Abstract

[Extract] Indigenous Australians continue to be seriously underrepresented in our public university system. The primary aim of the study described in this paper was to identify barriers inhibiting Indigenous Australians from completing a Bachelor of Social Work at James Cook University. Findings reveal significant barriers, presented here as profound difficulties, privileged knowledge, lack of recognition of prior learning and lack of support.
