For decades Charles Sturt University has enriched, empowered and transformed regional communities from within.

We recognise Australia’s future prosperity—our food security, energy supply, climate resilience, workforce and cultural legacy—depends on thriving rural and regional areas. We understand our pivotal role in dismantling the barriers holding it back.

Guided by the Wiradjuri ethos of yindyamarra winhanganha—the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well, in a world worth living in—we are constantly innovating to create opportunities for young people from all backgrounds, tackle complex local and global challenges, and drive meaningful change.

Create something powerful

Charles Sturt University is a success story of equity and aspiration—for individuals and communities. Our graduates are highly employable. We open the doors of opportunity for regional students, First Nations students and students from less well-off backgrounds. And we are succeeding in enriching our region—and the world—through research.
Now, we must do even more—to meet the future skills needs of our regions, nation and world, develop the practical minds who will tackle the challenges of tomorrow, and do all we can to create a world worth living in.
