DPIE Aboriginal Planning Scholarship
The Planning & Assessment division within the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) has developed the first Aboriginal Scholarship Planning Program.
This scholarship program will create a pathway to support Aboriginal planning students to commence their career with DPIE. The scholarship program will provide two Aboriginal students an annual scholarship, 12-week summer internship and a one-year full-time graduate role in the Planning & Assessment division.
At DPIE we know that Country is at the core of every Aboriginal person’s identity and sense of belonging. We aim to develop a better understanding of Aboriginal communities and to integrate this knowledge into our work and to create partnerships based on co-design and collaboration.
