02 A university that is unique
A university of faith
As a Catholic university, we bring together both faith and
reason in our pursuit of knowledge. This underpins our
decision making and guides staff and students in their
day to day lives.
At ACU, we pride ourselves on offering a welcoming
environment for everyone – regardless of their faith or
traditions.
Our holistic approach to education and our commitment
to justice, equity, and the dignity of all human persons
underpins everything we do as a university with a rich
Catholic heritage.
A university making an
impact through empathy
We are a university committed to standing for something
clear. We want to be the university for people who look
beneath the surface and are stronger than external
expectations and superficial measures of success. For
people who want to pursue a lifelong journey of personal
growth, to engage with curiosity and generosity of spirit,
and ask what makes a life worth living.
In order to be agents of change in the world, we all
need to see life through the eyes of others. It’s our role
to inspire and equip our students to make a difference
– and that means cultivating their ability to think
empathetically and act with impact.

Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education The Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education (ILSTE) undertakes studies in partnership to improve educational outcomes and life chances for all children and young people. Current ARC projects examine young children’s learning in the digital society; equipping learners with coding skills; the role of standards in assessment; multi-literacies in learning science; and workforce issues in the early childhood sector. A team led by Institute Director Professor Claire Wyatt- Smith is investigating the quality and impact of teacher education programs in preparing the nation’s next generation of teachers. Generating new knowledge about the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) as a predictor of becoming a successful teacher, the project is also revealing patterns in pre-service teacher progression into employment. 08 Research with impact

12 The student experienceWork integrated learning
Work integrated learning (WIL) activities give our
students the opportunity to enrich their classroom
learning with real experience. Thousands of ACU
students undertake WIL placements and internships
every year, with many securing employment directly
after. Students also have the opportunity to participate
in international internships, thanks to our relationship
with more than 200 universities and education
institutions around the world.
The Core Curriculum
Our Core Curriculum is a key part of every student’s
ACU education – giving them time to reflect on ways
in which they can change the world by forming a broad
ethical worldview and understanding the importance of
truth, the common good, and the dignity of each person.
The Core is unique to ACU. It challenges our students
to see the world from different ethical perspectives, to
seek meaning and to make sense of their experience.
Students can elect to undertake the Core in Australia
or in multiple international locations, including at our
Rome Campus.
Community engagement
At ACU we’re all about making an impact. We offer a
huge range of community engagement and volunteering
opportunities, both in Australia and overseas, and it’s
built in to almost all our undergraduate programs.
The student experience 13The staff We know our number one asset is our
people. It’s their character, enthusiasm,
experience
and engagement that make ACU a
university like no other.
We believe in showing our genuine,
ongoing appreciation for the great work
of our staff, and we do it by offering
excellent leave and employment
conditions, and by fostering a work
environment where staff are safe and
can grow and develop.
14 The staff experienceGender equality
In 2020, we received an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality
(EOCGE) citation by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency for
the ninth consecutive year.
Some of our achievements include:
• A majority of women represented in leadership roles – 60 per cent of our
managers are women.
• Our wide range of flexible working provisions are taken up by a large number
of staff.
• Generous leave provisions for staff experiencing domestic violence.
Supporting parents
ACU has one of the most generous paid parental leave schemes
in Australia. Our parental leave provisions support both primary
carers and their partners, and also provide support for adoptive
and foster parents. Primary carers can access up to 12 weeks’
leave at full pay – as well as up to 40 weeks’ paid leave at 60 per
cent of their normal pay.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
ACU is committed to achieving a just Australia in which
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples rights as First
Peoples are recognised, respected, celebrated and enjoyed.
We are committed to nurture and expand our First Peoples
workforce by continuing to create quality and sustainable work
opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
and providing a culturally safe and inclusive work environment.
