Dilin Duwa Centre for Indigenous Business Leadership

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.  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.

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.
