NAIDOC Week Opening and Panel Discussion

Southern Cross Place of Learning
Lismore, Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour Libraries
July 7-31, 2026

Come along and learn a little about the history of Gnibi as we highlight ‘50 Years of Deadly Indigenous Higher Education at Southern Cross University’, from the North Coast Institute of Aboriginal Community Education (NCIACE) to Gungil Jindibah Centre, Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples, and Indigenous Australian Student Services (IASS).  It’s about acknowledging and paying tribute to the leadership and strength of the many generations of people it took to get us here today, from Elders, staff, students and community, and where we will move to in the future.
