ACU’s history in Australia stretches back long before the opening in 1991. The seeds for a Catholic university in Australia were planted when our patron Saint Mary Mackillop was born in 1842.
The university is founded on a long history of commitment to their core values of truth, academic excellence and service. But there are other important values that enhance the ACU experience for students and staff, including equity, diversity, accessibility, wellbeing and sustainability.
The ACU Plan for 2020-2023 sets out for high-level goals and targets designed to keep their mission, values and vision at the centre of what they do.
You don’t need to be Catholic to study at ACU. They keep their mission and values relevant to all, so whether you have a particular faith or none, you’re welcome at ACU. Their campus ministry provides opportunities for students and staff to deepen their experience of faith and use their gifts and talents in service to the world while engaging in an authentic Catholic university experience.
