How to apply

Get a fully accredited degree that encompasses Indigenous knowledges and experiences. Choose from qualifications across the arts, education, social work, law, environment, Indigenous research, health and nursing.

By looking beyond your ATAR and academic results to consider all the skills, experience and community work that make you unique and prepare you for study, we can reward your hard work with a place at university. Find a course you love and take the next step towards your dream career by applying through the Indigenous Access Scheme.

We provide specialised pathways for Indigenous students to become healthcare practitioners, improving cultural safety and health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the communities they serve.

Our Indigenous Entry Stream courses are exclusively for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who want to study an optometry, medical imaging, medicine or psychological science degree.

To help address workforce shortages in regional and remote areas, Deakin offers alternative entry pathways into relevant exercise and sport science, nutrition science, medical imaging, social work and vision science/optometry courses.
