Oodgeroo Unit

Our Elder-in-Residence Gregory Egert, also known as Uncle Cheg works closely with the Oodgeroo Unit in supporting and creating a culturally safe and inclusive environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prospective students, current students and staff. Uncle Cheg is a Traditional owner and provides an important link to the countries upon which QUT resides and a knowledge base for QUT staff and students.

All QUT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students can connect with Uncle Cheg at our fortnightly Oodgeroo Unit Yarning Circle or have a one on one catch-up with Uncle Cheg by appointment. Prospective students also have the chance to meet and yarn with Uncle Cheg at QUT Recruitment Events, in-school visits and via Oodgeroo Unit Zoom presentations.
