Message from the Vice-Chancellor and President

Charles Sturt University is a relatively young university but one with strong roots in in our communities and with a proud history of education and research which serve regional Australia.

We are a multi-campus institution across a large geographic footprint in regional Australia, as well as campuses in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

At the heart of our work is the Wiradjuri phrase Yindyamarra Winhanganha: ‘the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in’.

Our staff are passionate and energetic in serving this ethos and our mission to build skills and knowledge in our regions.

Our staff enjoy a collegial environment, meaningful work, and the opportunity to contribute to resilient, sustainable communities.

At Charles Sturt University, we believe in making a difference. I hope you will consider doing the same through the fulfilling and exciting roles we have to offer.
