We are working with students, staff, and the community to make sustainability central to everything we do, by:

  • Recognising that sustainability encompasses economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
  • Integrating sustainability across all operations, curriculum, and research.
  • Embedding sustainability in our culture and practices through engagement with staff, students, employers, and partners in the community and in government.
  • Becoming known as the leading sustainable university in Australia and a leader internationally.
