About us
Charles Sturt's work in Agriculture, Water and the Environment (AWE) has
made a strong contribution to our UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)
ranking where we are placed 67th overall out of 1406 participating
institutions.
Our research in AWE has been targeted for strategic investment, with the
University committed to driving research which has impact across Australia and
globally. The key pillar of this strategic investment is in the establishment
of the Gulbali Institute with particular areas of research excellence in
biosecurity, food and wine science, water and fisheries management and
environmental stewardship. The Institute focuses on applied research that
addresses major global challenges and government, industry, and community
strategic imperatives.
We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the
character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we
collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help
their communities grow and flourish.
The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra winhanganha means the wisdom of
respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in. This phrase
represents who we are at Charles Sturt University – our ethos. It comes from
traditional Indigenous Australian knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission
of universities – to develop and spread wisdom to make the world a better
place.
Harnessing technology, we thrive as a distributed yet connected community,
welcoming and engaging with people across Australia and the world.
Charles Sturt University is an equal opportunity employer committed to
diversity and inclusion. This is demonstrated through our Athena SWAN Bronze
Institutional Award and our participation as a member in the Australian
Workplace Equality Index. Applications are encouraged from Indigenous
Australians; people with a disability; women (particularly for senior and
non-traditional roles); people who identify as LGBTIQA+; and those from
