The Australian Indigenous Psychology Education Project (AIPEP) was a collaborative learning and teaching project led by Professor Pat Dudgeon of the University of Western Australia.
AIPEP aimed to increase the recruitment, retention and graduation of Indigenous psychology students, integrate Indigenous studies in psychology courses for all students, and facilitate training pathways.
