¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ«

Australia's National University

We present the Corporate Plan for ¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ«, which covers the period 2024–2027, and is as required under paragraph 35(1)(b) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ« (¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ«) was established by an Act of the Federal Parliament more than 75 years ago as a resource for our nation after World War II. The University supports the development of national unity and identity, enhancing Australia’s understanding of itself and our region, generating knowledge and national capability, and contributing to economic recovery and social cohesion.

As Australia’s first and only national University, it is our responsibility to address the complex challenges facing our nation and the world, both the emergent and the enduring: from public health emergencies such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to inequality, international instability, and the impacts of climate change.

¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ« will continue to collaborate closely with the Commonwealth Government to address these societal challenges. We will share our findings and expert advice to inform public policy supporting Australia’s well-being, security, and prosperity.

Our students, who are future leaders, will have a world-class university experience. Our range of programs will respond to our nation’s and our students’ needs, and our institutional culture will distinguish ¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ« from other universities.

Our research, led by world-class academics, will continue to be of the highest quality and impact. We provide the platforms and investment to enable the co-creation of innovative approaches to interdisciplinary problem solving and support our academics in realising the possibilities of their discoveries in society and business.

These goals are outlined in a revitalised ¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ« Strategic Plan, ¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ« by 2025. This Corporate Plan accompanies the ¹Ü¼ÒÆÅ×ÊÁϾ«×¼´óÈ« Strategic Plan and sets out the University purpose, operating context, key activities, and how the University will measure its performance.

The University will continue to deliver on its unique mission to serve Australia and its people.
