Central Queensland University

CQUniversity is one of Australia’s leading regional universities with a strong commitment to social equity, access to education, and community partnership. With campuses across regional and remote Australia, our mission is to empower students and communities through inclusive, high-quality education and applied research.

We are dedicated to addressing educational disadvantage by improving access for underrepresented groups, particularly students from regional, rural, and remote areas, Indigenous Australians, and those facing financial hardship. Our scholarship programs, community initiatives, and industry-aligned training pathways aim to break down systemic barriers to participation and success in tertiary education.

As Australia’s most engaged university (as recognised by the Australian Government’s Engagement and Impact Assessment), we work closely with local communities, Traditional Custodians, industry, and government to co-design solutions that drive positive social and economic outcomes.

Our current priorities include:
– Increasing scholarships for students experiencing disadvantage
– Supporting First Nations students’ success in higher education
– Building community resilience through local partnerships
– Expanding access to education in remote and regional areas

Philanthropic partnerships enable us to deliver life-changing opportunities, from funding student scholarships to backing community-led programs that build capacity and drive innovation.

With a proven track record in impact, a deep understanding of the communities we serve, and a clear vision for a more inclusive future, CQUniversity is uniquely positioned to create lasting change.
