Tutorial Assistance

The Aboriginal Tutorial and Mentoring Program (ATMP) aims to improve the educational outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in tertiary courses to the same levels as those for non-Aboriginal Australians. It focuses on developing students’ self-directed academic learning.

The ATMP, funded through Edith Cowan University’s (ECU) Indigenous Student Success Program (ISSP) and reports directly to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, covers the cost of engaging tutors to provide academic and study skills assistance over a semester, with the intention of guiding students to direct their own learning. Students will be matched with a qualified tutor and will receive tuition hours for the semester, based on study load.

Kurongkurl Katitjin facilitates the ATMP for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at ECU.

IMPORTANT: It is vital that both students and tutors download and read the updated ATMP Guidelines.

Who is eligible to apply for the ATMP?

All Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are currently enrolled internally or externally, full-time or part-time, in the University Preparation Course (UniPrep); undergraduate degrees; postgraduate degrees and VET courses at ECU are all eligible to apply for the program.

The number of hours available depends on study load, as outlined in the table below.
