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.

The Gulbali Institute creates impactful integrated agriculture, water and environment research, grounded in Charles Sturt’s footprint across the Murray-Darling Basin, but with impact across Australia and globally. 

The Centre for Biosecurity, one of four research centres within the Gulbali Institute, will drive the University’s ambition to be the leading national university for biosecurity promoting integration and coordination of key biosecurity partners including state and national governmental departments, industry, and biosecurity research organisations towards protection of our billion-dollar agriculture industry.

The University offers a great work-life balance, professional development opportunities and generous financial benefits.

We are an equal-opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. Did you know that we have a Workplace Gender Equality Agency Employer of Choice Citation and an Athena SWAN Bronze Institutional Award? We are also a participating member of the Australian Workplace Equality Index. We encouraged applications 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.
