Welcome to Charles Sturt University

We believe wisdom transforms communities. With tenacity, we help to shape resilient, sustainable regions for the future. Acknowledging the culture and insight of First Nations Australians, our ethos is clearly described by the Wiradjuri phrase, yindyamarra winhanganha, meaning the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in.

Our vision and values

Our mission is to build skills and knowledge in our regions. We offer choice and flexibility to students and work hand-in-hand with our industries and communities in teaching, research and engagement. Growing from our historical roots, we share our knowledge and expertise as a significant regional export industry and we bring strength and learning from this back to our regions.

Through our values, we create a welcoming community experience and learning environment that supports innovative research, advances society and gives back to our regions.

Who we are, what we believe

We're committed to advancing higher education and research opportunities for the people of regional Australia. We bring strength and learning back to our regions and together, we make this a world worth living in.

We're improving economic and social wellbeing and creating sustainable ecosystems for future generations.

As Australia's leading regional university, we also promote social justice and human rights for First Nations Australians. We do this both within our regions and across Australia.
