Aboriginal performers at WAAPA

Edith Cowan University (ECU) has reached a partnership agreement with international law firm Allens, which would fully fund up to 20 students to study the 10908NAT Certificate IV in Aboriginal Performance in 2026. 

Although the program is subsidised by government funding as a Vocational Education and Training course, Allens' partnership ensures the remaining student contribution is fully covered, removing the final financial barrier for participants.

The Certificate IV in Aboriginal Performance opens pathways into the arts that may otherwise feel out of reach, and removing the final financial barrier means students can step into the program with confidence and focus fully on their creative and cultural development. Find details HERE.
