The Kambarang Spring Festival is an annual open-day at Kurongkurl Katitjin, Centre for Indigenous Australian Education and Research, Edith Cowan University, Perth. Kambarang is the Noongar word for 'spring'. The festival enables people (mostly school students and teaching staff) to explore the various opportunities that Kurongkurl Katitjin can provide for students beginning or extending their studies, and to explore Kurongkurl Katitjin's entry pathways to university. This year the festival also hosted other organisations such as Woodside and Chevron that offer Indigenous scholarships, and organisations such as Centrelink who provide information for school leavers on a range of issues.
On 4 November 2010 Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet staff members Jane and Caitlin ran a stand at the event to promote the organisation's services. Other stands offered information on health issues, career guidance and Indigenous cultural aspects.
