Welcome

Welcome message from the Vice-Chancellor

Welcome to the Charles Darwin University and congratulations on your successful appointment to the premier educational institution in Northern Australia.

Charles Darwin University takes pride in its role as the key provider of education, training and research in the Northern Territory. Our mission is to ensure that the services we provide locally, nationally and internationally support and advance the social, cultural and economic development of the Northern Territory.

When you have a moment, please take the time to read Strategic Directions which sets our planning framework for the next five to ten years. We believe that while positioning ourselves strategically, the University must pay attention to efficiency and the management of quality, continually assessing ourselves against best practice. An important aspect of this is the well being of the University's staff and we encourage you to continue your professional development and growth in the supportive environment that we believe is epitomised by harmonious relations between management and employee organisations.

The University is committed to the principles of equal opportunity and affirmative action for both staff and students and we aim to provide opportunities in education, training and research for all disadvantaged groups.

Over the next decade we expect the Charles Darwin University will continue to develop into a thriving institution that will be widely recognised as an exemplar of good practice and will play a major leadership role in our region. We invite you to share our vision for the Charles Darwin University in the future.

Once again, welcome to the Charles Darwin University, and I wish you every success in your time with us.

Professor Helen Garnett
Vice-Chancellor
