About us
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 culturally and linguistically
diverse backgrounds.
