The Office of Government and Community Relations manages the Charles Sturt responses to official inquiries and discussion papers. This includes Federal and State Parliamentary Inquiries, Federal and State Government Green and White Paper processes, and public consultations on new policy initiatives, programs, or legislation affecting the higher education sector.
While our usual approach is to make a separate submission reflecting the University's unique character and mission, in some circumstances we contribute to a joint submission by the Regional Universities Network (RUN).
Here we list the University's submissions to government (Federal, State and Local) as well as the current working status of the University's responses.
