Acknowledgement of country

Batchelor Institute would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereign people of the lands on which our campuses are located. As we share our knowledge, teaching and learning and engage in research practices within this Institution and/or conduct business with a variety of external agencies and organisations, we must always pay respect to the sovereign status of our hosts. May their Ancestors always be remembered and honoured, their Elders listened to and respected, all members treated with dignity and fairness — in the present and well into the future.

We also acknowledge and pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever with our hosts, custodianship of country and the binding relationship they have with the land. Batchelor Institute extends this acknowledgment and expression of respect to all sovereign custodians — past, present and emerging. By expressing Acknowledgement of Country we encourage all to extend and practice respect to all First Nations people wherever their lands are located.

The Institute has been named a finalist in the prestigious Large Training Provider of the Year category at the 2024 NT Training Awards, continuing its legacy of excellence.

This recognition marks a significant milestone for Batchelor Institute, having secured this category for three consecutive years—2021, 2022, and 2023. Winning this award for a fourth consecutive year would be an extraordinary achievement, especially as the Institute celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Mike Keating, Director of VET Business Operations, expressed his gratitude to the dedicated staff: "This nomination is very much a shared honour amongst the entire team. Batchelor is a large and complicated operation with many moving parts, and this recognition underscores the hard work and commitment of everyone involved."

"This recognition reflects the hard work of our students and the supportive community we've built at Batchelor Institute. It's about all of us working together to strengthen our people through learning."
