Meet AIEF AIEF Alumni Kodie and TarliAIEF Alumni and sisters, Kodie and Tarli, are proud Dharawal women from La Perouse who chose to use their education to create ripples of change for their family and the local community.
Kodie was the first in her family to attend university and recently graduated with a Bachelor of Social Research and Policy. Tarli is continuing studies in Psychology and hoping to work in mental health and counselling services within Indigenous communities.
The sisters have a long history of strong Aboriginal women in their family, with one of their ancestors running her own business during Sydney’s colonial times. This is what inspired Kodie to start her own business, Malima, facilitating Aboriginal cultural workshops including weaving, bush medicine, spear making and other traditional practices.

“I was extremely grateful for my experience … it gave us access to opportunities and a future we wouldn’t have had otherwise. We have now been able to come back and work in our community, use our education and share our experience with others – inspiring a new generation of young people.” – Kodie
Meet AIEF Alumni Frank and Kai
“The more I speak to doctors, elders and members of these communities, the more my understanding grows and I can identify how I can help. I want to ensure the right healthcare and education is provided to the community.” – Kai
AIEF Alumni and brothers, Frank and Kai, are proud Torres Strait Islander men, who have always valued education and the role that it can play in empowering people. After graduating from St Peters Lutheran College, both men knew they wanted to choose careers that allowed them to work in local communities and make a meaningful change.
Whether helping to facilitate financial support for a young Indigenous person’s next business idea, or providing Indigenous communities with healthcare support during a difficult time, these brothers are empowering Indigenous communities and using their education to make ripples of change.

Indigenous students. If you are interested in learning more about how you can
