Aboriginal Studies (CAS) provides a culturally safe learning environment for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students as well as non-Indigenous students and staff. Our commitment to cultural safety is reflected in our staff, which includes three Elders, and our shared Midgegoroo meeting place, symbolising the resilience of Aboriginal Resistance Warrior and his son Yagan. Since its establishment in 1974, CAS has been a pioneer in educational innovation and policy development.<br /> <br /> Whether you're just beginning your educational journey or seeking to advance your studies, CAS is here to support you every step of the way.</p> </header>  <section class="main-content"> <h2>Welcome from Director Frederick Yasso</h2> <p>A proud Juru man from North Queensland, has been an integral part of CAS since 2019, working both as part of a team and in leadership roles providing innovation and excellence in teaching. Mr Yasso holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Indigenous Community Health and has said he is looking forward to building on the important history of the Centre and its role in Indigenous higher education in Australia.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2418" src="https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="402" height="268" srcset="https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-300x200.jpg 300w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-768x512.jpg 768w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-230x153.jpg 230w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-588x392.jpg 588w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-320x213.jpg 320w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-340x227.jpg 340w, https://s37430.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/02/DSC0531-110x73.jpg 110w" sizes="(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px" /></p> <p> </p> <h2>Indigenous Futures High School Challenge Highlights</h2> <p> </p> <p><iframe title="Indigenous Futures High School Challenge 2024" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jyG2ajnyKLw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p> </p> <h2>CAS Alumnus Uncle Kim Collard, Ballardong and Whadjuk Elder</h2> <p>We are committed to community empowerment.
