The Dilin Duwa Centre for Indigenous Business Leadership is committed to the pursuit of equity for Australia’s First Nations people in the economic life of our country.

We build trust and inclusion through our activities, leading to esteem and belonging for our members. This enables individuals and organisations to lead and to create a self-determined economic future.

In the Woi Wurrung language of the Wurundjeri people on whose land our Centre is established, ‘Dilin Duwa’ means everlasting flow. It signifies the convergence of our three activity streams into a centre of impact.

Under the cultural and strategic guidance of an Indigenous Advisory Group, Dilin Duwa is a collaboration between the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Business and Economics and Melbourne Business School. Combining the teaching strength, research acumen and business networks of our institutions, we ensure that our programs meet the needs of the community whom we serve.

Our three streams

  • Programs
