Looking forward

Technology to support the ³ÉÈË´óƬ to be the 21st century institution that our state and heritage deserve...

The challenges and opportunities of the future require both foundational technology elements that we need to function, and transformative technology initiatives to help us support the University to achieve our goals to increase international student numbers, optimise domestic student numbers, increase research income and performance, acquire and retain top talent, enhance alumni engagement, and provide a welcoming and engaging campus.

Building on these foundations, we will provide solutions to support and enable the delivery of new and innovative learning, teaching and research business models.We will continually enhance the digital experience across the University for students, researchers, staff, industry partners and our wider stakeholder communities.

We will provide real-time access to insightful and impactful data into how we operate as a university, empowering staff and enabling all university stakeholders to make evidence-based decisions. In parallel, we will enhance our relationship management to better engage locally, nationally and globally, and make the most of our invaluable reputation and connections.

We will embrace innovation, applying emerging and advanced technologies to deliver new experiences and services to meet the continually evolving needs and expectations of our University community as we continue to deliver world-class learning and research outcomes. This will result in an even greater ability to attract and retain talented staff, researchers and students.
