Engineers working for life.
About Us
The late Jeff Dobell (1939-2010) had a vision of nation building, community by community, with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students becoming engineers to shape their future.

Since its creation in 1996, Engineering Aid Australia, has teamed with universities to bring Indigenous high school students to summer schools as an introduction to this profession. Young people who continue their studies and take up an engineering career are supported through a range of scholarships.
This philanthropic program is championed by its patron, the Rt Hon. Bob Hawke, former Governor General Michael Jeffery, Vice Patron, and the Governor of NSW, Her Excellency, Professor Marie Bashir.
Individuals, industry leaders, corporations and charitable trusts support this program, as well as Commonwealth, State and Local Government agencies. Click here for a list of our sponsors.
Engineering Aid Australia's 2011 Annual Report is now available.
