Oorala Aboriginal Centre

The career change I have made in recent years has been the best decision to date. I am extremely proud of myself and the journey I have taken, the people I have met along the way at VCB and the wonderful clinical experiences I had throughout my studies, this has opened my eyes to the opportunities available.”

It was really easy being an on-campus in-college student. The Indigenous Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship took the pressure off and helped me to be more independent. I think there were a lot of opportunities available to on-campus students like sport, mentorship, events and I eventually got a job at VCB.

I was the first in my family to attend university, yet even after being out of school for so long, I soon learned how to study and how the university process worked. I realised I had a knack for learning and I graduated with a distinction last year.

The on-line tutoring helped me so much, it helped ensure I was always on top of content and know I was on the right track with assignments, and it made the whole experience less lonely.
