Impact Evaluation of the Deadly Indigenous Research Internships: Indigenous Australian University Students’ Perceptions
This study evaluated the Deadly Indigenous Research Internship, a program designed to immerse Indigenous Australian undergraduate students in research, foster academic and research skills, strengthen cultural pride and promote aspirations for further education. A total of 10 interns completed a structured survey, and seven participated in in-depth interviews to examine their motivations for joining, experiences within the program, and perceived i…
What are the success factors for schools in remote Indigenous communities
Indigenous Australian students generally attain poorer educational outcomes compared to non‐Indigenous students. However, some remote schools are challenging the status quo by providing schooling experiences where Indigenous students thrive. Using an Indigenous research paradigm and a comparative case study methodology, we conducted interviews with stakeholders from two different remote community schools where students were predominantly Indigeno…
The associations between basic psychological need satisfaction at work and the wellbeing of Indigenous and non-Indigenous employees
We investigated how satisfaction of the basic psychological needs at work was associated with the psychological and physical wellbeing of Indigenous and non-Indigenous employees both within and outside of the workplace. Participants included 1,146 Indigenous ( n = 559) and non-Indigenous Australians (60.9% female), aged 18 to 81 years ( Mage = 43.54) who were recruited through their employer or online advertisements. Structural equation modelling…
A Cross-Cultural Investigation of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction at Work in an Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australian Sample Across Occupation Types
Self-determination theory (SDT) posits universality without cross-cultural uniformity of the three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) which have been associated with desirable job outcomes. Yet these promising directions in theory and research have not been extended to Indigenous samples and different occupational types. This is unfortunate as Indigenous peoples globally remain the most disadvantaged on all socio-ec…
The role of achievement, gender, SES, location and policy in explaining the Indigenous gap in high‐school completion
Internationally, there is a gap in high‐school completion rates for Indigenous and non‐Indigenous students. In Australia, gap estimates are commonly based on lag indicators, precluding examination of underlying mechanisms. Using two longitudinal representative samples of Australian youth, we explored differences in high‐school completion between Australian Indigenous and non‐Indigenous rates, and whether the gap varies for students of similar aca…
Boarding schools: A longitudinal examination of Australian Indigenous and non‐Indigenous boarders’ and non‐boarders’ wellbeing
Improving educational outcomes for Indigenous Australian students is a key strategy to helping Indigenous people reach their full potential. This has resulted in well‐intentioned efforts by Australian educators and governments to ensure Indigenous children have positive school experiences. However, Indigenous students still lag behind their non‐Indigenous counterparts in educational outcomes. This is particularly so for Indigenous students living…

Bangawarra'gumada - Strengthening the Spirit: Causal Modelling of Academic Self-Concept and Patterns of Disengagement for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australian Students
The notion of academic disengagement, regardless of its specific conceptualisation (e.g., cognitive, affective, or behavioural) is one that has received considerable attention within the educational and social psychological literature, especially with regard to disadvantaged minority groups. Akhough such research has done much to identify the complexity of factors as to why some minority groups may disengage from the schooling system (extending w…
