Other team members include: Dr Meghan Kelly: Deakin University– School of Communication and Creative Arts, Jefa Greenaway (Wailwan, Gamillaraay)– Indigenous Architecture and Design Victoria, Prof Brian Martin (Muruwari, Bundjalung, Kamilaroi) in association with Deakin University Institute of Koorie Education, and Elly Chatfield (Gamilaraay) in association with Deakin University Institute of Koorie Education.
