Vibrant cohesive communities

We are building healthy, inclusive, and resilient communities across Victoria and beyond. As Victoria's only state-wide university, community collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We partner with our regional campus communities, industry and governments to drive relevant research and initiatives that respond to local needs. Your support extends far beyond our campuses, creating a flow of positive change to our communities, the nation, and the world.
