In recent years both scientists and society in general have come to increasingly accept that fish are capable of pain, and possibly even suffering. Interventions to improve fish welfare in aquaculture have focused on removing negative welfare, but we have begun to look at how to provide positive welfare for these animals in our care. This seminar will cover what that means, what we know, and where we are going in this field.

The Vincent Lingiari Memorial Lecture commemorates the Wave Hill Station walk-off led by Vincent Lingiari with his Gurindji people and other groups in August 1966 – a significant act by those involved as it was a catalyst for Aboriginal people, not only in the Northern Territory but across Australia, to have their rights to traditional lands recognised and for those lands to be returned.
We believe learning should not be limited in the classroom. Through the Professional Practice Program (PPP), we provide on-the-job placement opportunities for students enrolled in the Master of Accounting (Professional Practice) and Master of Business Administration (Professional Practice) to get training and experience in a real-life workplace environment. The PPP gives employers the opportunity to work with well-trained graduates and evaluate their suitability as a future employee. If the student is eventually employed, they are already up to speed with the provider’s workplace culture, targets and relationships.
