About the scholarship

With the introduction of QUT’s new Graduate Certificate in Investigations and Intelligence in 2024, McGrathNicol are eager to support new students entering the field of investigations who come from diverse backgrounds, and with a particular focus on supporting Indigenous Australian students.

Investigators and intelligence analysts are vital to ensure proper investigation of issues and to develop strategies and solutions that resolve public and private sector issues such as non-compliance to regulations, fraud, scams, and breaches of legislation. As the demand for professionals in investigations and intelligence fields increases, so too does the need for such professions to be inclusive and representative of the communities in which they operate.

McGrathNicol wishes to support QUT in its efforts to attract, retain, support and develop Indigenous Australian talent, thereby creating inclusive environments that empower a strong, supportive and diverse community.

McGrathNicol also recognises that financial challenges faced by many Indigenous Australian students when undertaking further study. This scholarship opportunity seeks to dismantle such barriers to entry.

Therefore, in the hope of fostering a more inclusive and representative workforce in the investigations and intelligence landscape, especially for Indigenous Australian people, McGrathNicol intends to establish the McGrathNicol Indigenous Scholarship in Investigations and Intelligence.
