Leanne Bell, Executive Director of Education and Training TAFE QLD North Region, talking about TAFE Queensland’s First Nations Pathways to Policing Program. The First Nations Pathways to Policing Program is delivered in collaboration with QPS, the Australian Border Force (ABF), and the Australian Federal Police (AFP). It was created to boost First Nations representation in law enforcement and support students with culturally safe training to prepare for frontline careers. Graduates earn a Certificate III in Vocational and Study Pathways for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander People (11036NAT), along with a toolkit of skills that position them to enter law enforcement academy programs with confidence. The next intake of the First Nations Pathways to Policing Program will take place at TAFE Queensland’s Cairns campus, starting Monday, 21 July 2025.
