Our icon
The First Peoples Health Unit icon symbolises all that the Unit represents. Learn about logo elements. The icon infuses both traditional and modern artwork representing the infusing of the knowledge of our Nation’s First Peoples, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and western knowledge. The artwork is encapsulated in a circular design representing the holistic nature of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wellbeing and represented in the Griffith University corporate colours.
Sustainable Development Goals
Griffith University is aligned to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is committed to ensuring good health and wellbeing and promoting quality education, working towards a healthier and more educated world for all.
Acknowledgment of Country
The First Peoples Health Unit acknowledges the wisdom inherent in the Traditional Custodians of Australia as the oldest surviving culture in the world. We recognise their custodianship of the land on which all Griffith University campuses are located. We recognise the connection to their land, air, sea and community. We would like to pay our respect to their Elders and Leaders that are past, present, and future. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
