Summary:Indigenous collaboration initiatives aim, in part, to address the disadvantages experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to assist in the process of Aboriginal reconciliation. Indigenous peoples in Australia are notably disadvantaged in the higher education context, with participation rates and successful outcomes significantly below the population as a whole. For example, in 2008, 45.4% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 20-24 year olds reported completing Year 12 or equivalent, compared to 88.1% of non-Indigenous 20-24 year olds, and only 40.8% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who commenced a bachelor degree in 2005 had completed their degree by 2010, compared to 68.6% of non-Indigenous students.
