Support our work and students with the Dookie Fund
Melbourne students who undertake a residential semester at Dookie gain the insights and practical foundations to fully harness their undergraduate study in agricultural science. Getting to Dookie, however, comes at a price – one that many students are unable to pay. Donating to the Dookie Fund will enable more students to benefit from having a Dookie experience and produce graduates that have a deep understanding of sustainability and land management issues affecting Australian farming.
