Yurrongi Centre

Yurrongi Centre

The Yurrongi Centre is the central meeting place at Melbourne Polytechnic for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, staff and the communities we belong to.

Yurrongi is a Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung word meaning empowerment, recognising the importance of education in empowering our students and communities across all Melbourne Polytechnic campuses.

Whether you’re seeking course information, cultural support, study opportunities, or a place to connect over a cuppa, the Yurrongi Centre is here to support and celebrate your learning journey at Melbourne Polytechnic.
