The School of Government and International Relations is one of Australia’s leading political science departments.

The political science discipline offers Indigenous scholars with opportunities to assume roles in leadership and advocacy that can directly influence decisions that affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Including more Indigenous voices in political science has the potential to enhance Australia’s democratic processes through the promotion of inclusivity and recognition of Indigenous peoples’ governance and decision-making institutions.
