We are driven by a singular purpose to enable positive change and make a lasting impact for the communities we serve.
We realise this through being progressive and socially caring and an unwavering commitment to excellence in both education and research.
From modest beginnings in a Geelong paddock to six state-of-the-art campuses – we’ve always set out to make a difference. Join us on campus throughout 2025 for an exciting lineup of celebratory events to help commemorate our 50 year anniversary.
