Statement of Reconciliation

ECU recognises that a significant outcome of European settlement has been the social, political, economic and educational disadvantage suffered by many Indigenous people in Australia. We are committed to reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians and this has been documented in our Statement of Reconciliation published in 1988.
