Acknowledgement of country

Batchelor Institute would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereign people of the lands on which our campuses are located. As we share our knowledge, teaching and learning and engage in research practices within this Institution and/or conduct business with a variety of external agencies and organisations, we must always pay respect to the sovereign status of our hosts. May their Ancestors always be remembered and honoured, their Elders listened to and respected, all members treated with dignity and fairness — in the present and well into the future.

We also acknowledge and pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever with our hosts, custodianship of country and the binding relationship they have with the land. Batchelor Institute extends this acknowledgment and expression of respect to all sovereign custodians — past, present and emerging. By expressing Acknowledgement of Country we encourage all to extend and practice respect to all First Nations people wherever their lands are located.

Renee Long is the Chief Executive Officer of Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education, having assumed the role on 1 August 2025 as the second female CEO in the institute’s history. A proud Arrernte, Walpiri, and Waramangu woman with deep connections to Country and family in the southern and western Barkly regions of the Northern Territory, Long brings a wealth of experience in Indigenous education, policy, and leadership to advance Batchelor’s mission of “liberation through education our way.”

Her career began as a trainee with the NT Open College of TAFE in Tennant Creek, followed by roles across the NGO sector, Federal and NT Governments in major NT centres and Canberra, and as the inaugural CEO of the Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network. With expertise in policy development, program management, and regional service delivery, she has also served as a VET trainer and lecturer at Charles Darwin University (CDU). Long holds a Master of Public Policy, along with qualifications in Procurement, Management, and Project Management.

Before becoming CEO, Long served as Batchelor’s Director of Executive Services (February 2024) and Deputy CEO, Operations (July 2024), contributing to strategic partnerships like the Centre of Excellence with CDU and reinforcing the institute’s commitment to culturally safe, transformative education for Indigenous Australians.
