Reconciliation Week: Tribal Warrior Cultural Cruise

Friday 30 May, 10:15 am - 1:30 pm

 

National Reconciliation Week 2025 (27 May to 3 June) is just around the corner, and we’re excited to offer our staff a unique opportunity to experience the Tribal Warrior Cruise, exploring Sydney Harbour through the eyes of its original custodians. This experience will connect you to some of the traditions and practices that Aboriginal communities have kept alive for thousands of years.

 

Reconciliation is not momentary, but a march forward. Together our nation has made great strides towards a more united future, but we have also faced and continue to face setbacks. This year's theme 'Bridging Now to Next' reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future. It calls on all Australians to unite and move forward together, guided by the lessons of history.

 

Here in FMH, we’re excited to work together with you to ensure FMH is a safe place for all, where our education and teaching reflects our First Cultures as well as our newer cultures, and our staff and students are supported to bring their whole selves to our campuses.

Navigation Series | Declaration of external interests

Wednesday 4 June, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm


We are pleased to invite you to the next session in our Navigation series on the declaration of external interests. This session builds on the knowledge from last year's Outside Earnings session

Join us online for an interactive seminar on navigating conflicts of interest in academic settings. Through real-world case studies, we’ll explore actual, potential, and perceived conflicts—ranging from industry partnerships and grant panel roles to personal relationships and philanthropic funding.

This session will feature insights from legal and academic experts and offer practical strategies for managing conflicts with integrity. Whether you're new to these issues or experienced in navigating them, this is a valuable opportunity to reflect, discuss, and build confidence in applying institutional policy and professional judgement.

Critical Risk Management program

We have developed a Critical Risk Management program through extensive consultation across our community. This framework highlights the 18 critical risks at our University, and simplifies how we manage them and stay safe, no matter where we are on campus.

We acknowledge the tradition of custodianship and law of the Country on which the University of Sydney campuses stand. We pay our respects to those who have cared and continue to care for Country.
