Increasing Participation. The success in involving all members of the community will only come when based on clear and explicit shared values for their participation. The active involvement of all members of the community works best when it is properly resourced, valued, and the community have equal opportunity to get involved. Policies and standards for the participation of the whole community are currently irregular and underdeveloped. Too often this relies on people either attending meetings or filling in questionnaires.

It focuses on Indigenous engagement through Patyegarang, an advancement strategy for Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islanders for 2012-17 which promotes community engagement and educational aspirations through the provision of access arrangements such as our cadetships as well as by implementing systems for supporting student retention and increasing completion rates. The strategy states that ‘We are committed to ensuring that our institutional culture, the cultural competence of our staff and the nature of our curriculum recognises and supports the participation of Indigenous Australians. In addition, an audit of study units is underway to identify points at which an Indigenous perspective can be added to the student experience and an Indigenous Research Strategy will be in place across the University by the beginning of 2014.
