2025–2030 Strategic Plan
La Trobe’s 2025-2030 Strategic Plan is the University’s ambitious strategy for the next five years. It is focused on fields in which the University is a recognised leader and that will deliver growth – health, science and education – underpinned by innovation and an AI-first mindset across both curriculum and research, and with an overarching skills through equity lens.
