WASAC

Western Australian Student Aboriginal Corporation

Western Australian Student Aboriginal Corporation (WASAC) represents and advocates for Indigenous students at the University of Western Australia (UWA). WASAC aims to support self-determination for all our students and continuously ensure their education experiences are culturally safe and inclusive, accessible and represented in all aspects of University. WASAC has been responsible for organising social and cultural awareness activities for students to get involved in on and off campus since 1988.

This year saw the first year of Bilya Marlee building after completion in 2020. Utilisation of the Bilya Marlee building for events such as sundowners, ceremonies, and social occasions provided lots of engagement with all students on campus

WASAC is also involved with other Indigenous networks within the community. Each year, it works alongside a team to compete in the Indigenous Nationals.

We are proud to say that we collaborate with the student groups on campus to be able to advocate for indigenous students on campus. This year we successfully advocated for a ‘Welcome to Country’ to be embedded into LMS Ultra. We continue to work on the Indigenous Strategy which aims to improve the student experience of Indigenous students and strengthen the relationship between Guild and WASAC.
