Hello, good to see you, wherever you have been

Macquarie University recognises the custodianship of the land on which our campus is situated – the Wallumattagal clan of the Darug Nation and pays respect to their Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Macquarie University acknowledges the important contribution of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to our University and respects and takes pride in the knowledges of the world’s oldest continuous living cultures
