Widening Participation and Outreach
Widening Participation and Outreach (WPO) enables students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to access higher education. This includes students from:
- Low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds
- Rural and regional areas
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds
To achieve this aim, we offer a range of pre-tertiary outreach programs that equip students with the skills, confidence and motivation they will need to succeed in their studies.
