Wollotuka is established as a support program

Wollotuka is established as a support program for Indigenous students on the campus of Newcastle College of Advanced Education (NCAE). It thrives. By the 1990s, Wollotuka commences the design and delivery of courses aimed at enhancing Indigenous participation and equity at the University of Newcastle. It offers the Aboriginal Bridging Program, the Indigenous Medical Students Program and produces its first graduates. By the late 1990s Wollotuka is a leading provider of Aboriginal Studies courses to Indigenous and non-Indigenous students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels of study. It becomes the first institution in NSW to introduce a mandatory Aboriginal Education unit within the Graduate Diploma of Education. In 1999, the University of Newcastle offers a Bachelor of Aboriginal Studies.
