Oorala Wellbeing Scholarship
Background
The Oorala Aboriginal Centre, in collaboration with UNE’s Student Accessibility & Wellbeing office, developed the Oorala Wellbeing Scholarship. We have a shared vision to improve access to the UNE experience for everyone, regardless of their background or current situation.
The Accessibility & Wellbeing office supports students who are living with a disability or health condition, carers of a family member, elite athletes, ADF and SES personnel, living remotely, incarcerated, or do not have access to reliable internet and online technology.
