Join us at Bilya Marlee
In 2020, the School of Indigenous Studies moved into our new home, Bilya Marlee, meaning ‘river of the swan’. This purpose-built facility is also home to the Centre for Aboriginal Medical and Dental Health (CAMDH) and Poche Centre for Indigenous Health.
Bilya Marlee offers informal learning spaces, collaborative learning and spill-out spaces, and a variety of research and postgraduate offices.
