4 Vice-Chancellor and President’s Review of 2012 ‘CQUNIVERSITY IS NOW ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S FASTEST GROWING UNIVERSITIES’
CQUniversity ANNUAL REPORT 2012 VICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENT’S REVIEW Looking back on 2012 there is no doubt the year has been one of the most successful in CQUniversity’s history. The University has invested heavily in new facilities, new programs and new academic and research talent, and while this has caused the University to delve into its funding reserves, we see these activities as an investment in our future sustainability. Since embarking on an ambitious renewal plan in 2009, CQUniversity is well on its way to becoming one of Australia’s strongest regional universities. Based on the following achievements our future is looking very bright and we are well on track to becoming a great university by 2020. DUAL SECTOR APPROVAL The Queensland Government gave fi nal approval for the merger between CQUniversity and Central Queensland Institute of TAFE (CQ TAFE), removing one of the last hurdles for the creation of Queensland’s fi rst dual sector university. After more than two years of negotiations, this move sets the stage for CQUniversity to revolutionise the delivery of higher education and vocational education and training in Central Queensland. INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE In the past year CQUniversity has extended the Noosa campus ($2.5m) and opened a refurbished Rockhampton Library ($6.4m) and Engineering Precinct ($10.7m). A distance education study centre was also opened in Cairns to support the learning needs of our distance education students in Far North Queensland. In 2013, CQUniversity plans to continue this investment by opening further distance education study centres at our metropolitan campuses and developing a $16m Engineering Precinct in Mackay and an Accident Forensics Lab in Bundaberg. 5 VICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENT’S REVIEW OF 2012 CQUNIVERSITY HEALTH CLINIC Stage 1 of the $7m CQUniversity Health Clinic was opened in Rockhampton in August 2012, thanks in large part to funding provided by Health Workforce Australia. This clinic has the dual aim of providing improved health care outcomes for people in Central Queensland, and skilling up the region’s future health workforce. Service provision by the Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service team located in the CQUniversity Health Clinic is estimated to provide health care for up to 160 clients per day along with supporting the clinical placements of up to 200 students annually. ENGAGEMENT A number of initiatives have been set in place in relation to CQUniversity’s engagement agenda in 2012, including the appointment of a Pro Vice- Chancellor and BMA Chair (Indigenous Engagement), Professor Bronwyn Fredericks. Professor Fredericks will work closely with CQUniversity’s Pro Vice-Chancellor (Community and Engagement) and our industry partners to implement new programs and oversee existing engagement activities which aim to improve education outcomes for Indigenous students and engagement with Indigenous communities. RESEARCH CQUniversity’s signifi cant investment in research is beginning to pay off, with CQUniversity researchers acquiring more than $1.3m in competitive research grants in 2012 and a total research income of $7.1m. The latest fi ndings based on the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) indicated that CQUniversity has performed at or well above world standard in four areas of research – Nursing, Applied Mathematics, Agriculture and Land Management and Other Medical and Health Sciences. Our research activity, measured by income and outputs this year, is growing substantially. AUSTRALIA’S FASTEST GROWING REGIONAL UNIVERSITY Due to a number of exciting new program offerings and investment in our national campus footprint CQUniversity is now one of Australia’s fastest growing regional universities. Strong partnerships with industry have also enabled us to provide students with work integrated learning options, ensuring they are completely ‘work ready’ when they graduate.
