The Graduate Certificate in Indigenous Policy and Development provides an understanding and interpretation of the evolution and practice of Australian Indigenous affairs policy and an appreciation and analysis of development activities within Australian Indigenous communities. Particular emphasis is placed on the problems of combining Indigenous perspectives with other forms of technical expertise in policy and development work. On completion of the certificate, graduates will be better able to understand and contribute to Indigenous policy and development.

The Graduate Certificate  in Indigenous Policy and Development provides an opportunity to be trained by, and engage with, staff from the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR), Australia's leading research centre on Indigenous economic and social policy issues. The two required courses are taught by CAEPR's academic staff.
