If you are an Indigenous student, did you know?

Welcome and Land Recognition

Founded in 1996 on the sacred Gayemagal Land, the traditional ancestral home of the Gayemagal people, International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS) proudly stands as a beacon of learning and cultural respect. Today, our campuses span across both Gayemagal and Gadigal land, as well as the land of Dharug, embracing a harmonious blend of heritage and academia.

At ICMS, we acknowledge and honor the Gayemagal and Dharug people as the Traditional Custodians of this land. We hold deep reverence for the wisdom and contributions of the Gayemagal and Dharug Nation, and we extend this respect to all Aboriginal peoples. Our commitment to fostering an inclusive and culturally rich environment is at the core of everything we do.
