Wirltu Yarlu Aboriginal Education [Wilto Yerlo]
A place where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can soar to new heights
Wirltu Yarlu Aboriginal Education is responsible for recruiting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to the University's foundation and degree programs, administering the Special Entry Access Scheme and providing support services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in the University and the delivery of the Wirltu Yarlu Preparation Program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and the Indigenous Knowledge Major.
Aboriginal Education has today grown to also undertake research including Higher Degree by Research Supervision.
The University is in the heart of traditional Kaurna country. In the language of the Kaurna people, Wirltu Yarlu means "Sea Eagle". Wirltu Yarlu is the totem of Gladys Elphick. Previously spelt Wilto Yerlo, the correct Kaurna spelling is Wirltu Yarlu.
