Moondani Yalingwa was established to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at the University of Melbourne to participate in recreation, fitness and sporting activities.
‘Moondani Yalingwa’ means ‘Embrace Today’ in Woiwurrung, the language of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, on whose land the Parkville Sports Precinct is situated.
