Our excellence in teaching and research is underpinned by how we operate. We will continue to evolve to provide an environment that meets the dynamic needs of our students, staff, industry and global community. We will continue to invest in the modernisation of our workforce, systems, data, and property to support excellence in teaching and research.

We will continue to develop a diverse and inclusive workforce with a culture and environment, physical and digital, that prioritises innovation, creativity, digital literacy, simplicity, continuous improvement, and the resilience to get things done. This will ensure staff feel valued and empowered to contribute new ideas and collaborate effectively. Our integrated built and digital environments will make work easier, enriching the experience of our students and staff.

Underpinning this will be a continued focus on managing our resources so that we can continue to invest in the future growth of our teaching and research priorities and deliver global impact.

 Initiatives supporting this strategic priority include
  • Attracting and retaining a talented and diverse workforce and empowering our staff by investing in their development and wellbeing through our People Strategy and our mutual commitments in our Employee Value Proposition. 
  • Continuing to develop a vibrant physical and digital campus environment through our Campus 2040 Masterplan and our Digital and AI & Data Strategies to ensure we can respond to future opportunities and supports our education and research priorities. 
  • We will use advanced technology to innovate, support our staff, and prepare students for the future of work, ensuring ethical and effective practices which are exemplified by our presence in the Tech Central precinct in Ultimo, creative precinct in Haymarket, our TechLab in Botany, and our Sports Science campus at Moore Park
  • Simplifying and streamlining our processes, removing duplication and fragmentation through a generational change in our core systems technology and operating model, including our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
  • Committing to building a sustainable future and enabling investment and growth through the responsible stewardship of our resources as reflected in our Sustainability Strategy and Finance Plan.
