Aspiring to lead change for people and planet
Curtin University is committed to advancing Sustainable Development through education, research, engagement, governance and operations, informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Recognising the wisdom of First Nations Australians, we honour their stewardship of Country for more than 60,000 years and commit to integrating First Nations voices in our decision-making processes.
