Gayle Tierney MP, Minister for Training and Skills and Minister for Higher Education On behalf of the Council of Federation University Australia, I am pleased to present the 2019 Annual Report. The financial report was approved by the university Council on 16 April, 2020 and has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Management Act 1994. Federation University has had a successful year in 2019, embedding a new structure and new partnerships to ensure the university’s long-term stability and growth. We have seen growth in student numbers across our Victorian and Brisbane campuses, Mr Terry Moran AC as well as our Australian partner providers. It was particularly exciting to see the return of international students to our Gippsland campus, where they have been warmly welcomed by the university community. We have worked closely with the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments throughout 2019, responding to and implementing policy reforms and programs. In particular, the Victorian Government’s Free TAFE for Priority Courses initiative has had a significant impact on demand for programs at Federation TAFE, while the Regional Skills Training Fund has provided grants for specialist equipment for new and existing TAFE facilities. Federally, we were pleased to see a focus on the future of regional education with the release of the National Regional, Rural and Remote Education Strategy. The strategy clearly acknowledges the challenges faced by regional education and recommends real action to address issues with access, equity and aspiration outside of our cities. We have seen the quality of our research recognised as well above world standard by Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA), with this success to be built on in 2020 via our new Research and Innovation Strategic Plan 2019-2023, launched at the end of the year. In fact our rankings have improved significantly across all measures, reflecting the response of students and employers alike to the new direction for the university, including industry-focused program delivery. Thank you to all the members of Council throughout my first full year holding the position of Chancellor. As the university enters its 150th anniversary year, I feel a strong foundation has been built for future success. Mr Terry Moran AC Chancellor FEDERATION UNIVERSITY AUSTRALIA | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 VICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENT’S REPORT In 2019, Federation University experienced unprecedented success reflected in our outstanding results across a range of indicators, and the expansion of program offerings across all our campuses and international partnerships. Over the past three years we have taken a transformational approach and are seeing the benefits of this as we enter 2020. This success in the delivery of the university’s strategic plan and a program of significant reform was confirmed by the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office report, Results of 2018 Audits: Universities Report, which was released in 2019. It confirmed the significant improvement in our financial sustainability and performance revealed in our 2018 Annual Report, showing that Federation University had “…taken steps to streamline their operations by reducing unnecessary expenditure and increasing the efficiency of their employee base… [and] also increased its student numbers through the provision of additional course offerings, and the acquisition of Monash University’s Berwick operations.” I’m delighted to have seen this momentum for transformation and growth continue across the organisation in 2019, exceeding our revenue targets to reach $410 million in Professor Helen Bartlett revenue in 2019, achieving a net operating result of $36.8 million, confirmed in this Annual Report. It is a credit to the university community and the strength of our leadership that these outstanding results and significant reform across the university’s operation have been delivered in partnership with our staff. This was evidenced not only by the rapid pace of organisational change but also by the successful negotiation of new enterprise agreements for both university and TAFE staff. 2019 in review As you will see in this Annual Report, we have made significant investment in our research, programs, partnerships and facilities in 2019. Building on our outstanding ERA results, we have finalised a new research strategy focused on creating more substantial research partnerships with industry, government and education stakeholders at a local, national and international level. We have identified three research priority areas: health and wellbeing, society and the environment, and virtual, digital and computational environments. New Research Centres that align with our research expertise and the needs of industry and community will be announced in 2020. We achieved outstanding Good University Guide 2020 results, and have been rated first in Victoria for teaching quality, full-time graduate employment, starting salary, student support, skills development, overall student experience, first in family and social equity. A new academic portfolio structure has been embedded across the university. It is operating successfully and will continue to be strengthened in 2020. Following an extensive program review to transform the university’s academic offerings, we are introducing 10 new and 13 rebadged Diploma, Bachelor and Master programs that align with market demand, and skills and training needs across our campus network. International student enrolments have been boosted to 2,093 across all our campuses, a significant increase compared to 2018. TAFE student contact hours have been increased by 20 per cent in 2019 due to free TAFE. 2 FEDERATION UNIVERSITY AUSTRALIA | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT We have introduced a ‘Tenancy Plus’ model with new Tech Park partners, built around research collaboration and opportunities for Federation students. For example, global cyber security company, CT4, entered into a partnership with the university in 2019 that includes a dedicated TAFE training program leading to placements and employment. We are building partnerships with TAFEs in our campus regions to provide pathways into higher education. In October, we signed an MoU with TAFE Gippsland and are engaging in discussions with Chisholm Institute in the south east of Melbourne. A new master plan has been completed for the Ballarat CBD and Mt Helen campuses, and planning is underway for the Gippsland Campus. At Mt Helen, construction of the $15-million Health and Sports Precinct is complete and planning is underway for upgrades to flexible learning and teaching spaces. The revitalisation of historic buildings at our SMB campus in central Ballarat for teaching spaces will also commence in 2020. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion and access In 2019, one of the proudest moments for the university was receiving formal recognition of our commitment to progressing equal opportunities for women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). The awarding of the Athena SWAN (Scientific Women’s Academic Network) Institutional Bronze accreditation, presented by Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE), reflects our commitment to removing the barriers that prevent women from achieving their potential in traditionally male dominated STEM fields. This is not only a commitment to recruit more women in STEM, but also taking action to ensure we retain all of our talented female academics, and to help them advance and promote their work. We have also launched a new ‘Stretch’ Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), continuing the work of our ‘Reflect’ and ‘Innovate’ RAPs, which looked at scoping and implementing reconciliation actions. Our Stretch RAP challenges the university to embed and measure our achievements in the day-to-day operations of the university, including: • the creation of learning spaces for Indigenous students • to reach a new target of two per cent Indigenous employment by 2021 • to ensure students receive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives

  • Agnes Macready and Bella Guerin

    Agnes Macready and Bella Guerin

    Agnes Macready Born in 1855 at Rathfriland, County Down, Agnes Macready was the eldest of five children of Presbyterian minister, Reverend Henry Macready, and his wife Jane. In 1867, when Agnes was 12, the family emigrated to Australia. As an adult, Agnes converted to Catholicism, a move described by the Methodist newspaper in these terms: ‘[S]he wandered from green pastures of truth into the enchanted ground of Popery, and is ardent as perverts usually are’. A manifestation of her alleged perverted ardour for popery was her contribution from 1898 of literary sketches and verse to the Sydney Irish-Catholic newspaper the Catholic Press for whom she wrote under the name ‘Arrah Luen’. In 1880 Agnes had commenced training as a nurse at Sydney’s Prince Alfred Hospital, after which she worked at Melbourne Hospital before being appointed matron of Bowral Hospital in New South Wales. When war broke out in South Africa in 1899 Macready volunteered to serve as a nurse. But her request was denied. Undeterred, she paid her own passage to Durban and was the first nurse from Australia to arrive there. But not only was she the first Australian nurse at the Boer War, she also became Australia’s first-ever female war correspondent. Having been commissioned by the Catholic Press to send back reports on the war, she wrote that she saw the war ‘with a woman’s eyes’. Women war correspondents would later challenge the idea that they should cover war only from the so-called ‘woman’s angle’. But, unlike her male counterparts, Agnes was not permitted to visit the front.

    Richard Rustin Military Books Donated 3 October 2009 THE RUSTIN MILITARY COLLECTION The Rustin Military Collection consists of nearly a thousand military books and periodicals collected by Richard E. Rustin during his lifetime. His wife, Ginette Rustin, donated this collection from his estate to the Archive Center and Genealogy Department, Indian River County Main Library, in October 2009 – April 2010. Richard E. Rustin passed away July, 2008. His wife considered him a genius regarding military history. He was a brilliant writer, a former reporter, manager and assistant chief of the New York news bureau. He edited coverage at the heart of the Wall Street Journal’s financial and economic news operations. He served in the U. S. Navy as an officer from 1956 to 1959. The focus of his collection centered on World War I and World War II. The collection also includes books on the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Mexican War, Korean War, and Viet Nam War, among others. Regimental histories and books of detailed campaigns, military science, military equipment and biography predominate. The library is very fortunate to have such a magnificent research collection containing many rare, out of print and hard to find volumes.

  • What Price Loyalty? Australian Catholics in the First World

    What Price Loyalty? Australian Catholics in the First World

    What price loyalty? Australian Catholics in the First World War Jeff Kildea* Prelude I am grateful to the Catholic Theological College for inviting me to give the Cardinal Knox lecture for 2018, the centenary year of the end of the First World War, and to reflect on the way the Catholic Church in Australia related to and was affected by that war, a war that began in the same year that Cardinal Knox, in whose honour we meet tonight, was born. The subject brings together three intertwined strands of historical research which have fascinated me for a very long time: the First World War, the Catholic Church and Ireland. In fact I first acquired my interest in primary school at St Anne’s, Bondi Beach in the 1950s when I read a book called Fighting Father Duffy.1 Some of you may remember it. The book tells the story of a Catholic chaplain of Irish descent during the First World War serving in a unit originally known as the 69th New York Infantry Regiment, the ‘Fighting Irish’. And, here I am 60 years later, still trying to make sense of the entangled history of the First World War, the Catholic Church and Ireland When I told a friend I was to give a lecture on the Catholic Church in Australia during the First World War, he asked me how many days I had been allotted. And, of course, to cover a subject as profound as this would take days, if not weeks. But tonight I have only 50 minutes and so my talk will be only a cursory overview.

    australian universities g u i d e Published by the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission Canberra - 2008 ABSTRACT The purpose of this publication is to inform the esteemed Ministry of Higher Education on the wide array of universities in Australia. While Australia is a new arena for Saudi students, it is also an exciting one as the potential for academic relationships are established and Australia is given exposure to Saudi culture and its expanding academic research in the Kingdom. This publication lists a map of Australia and the geographical spread of Saudi students. In addition, this is followed up by a table of the universities with most Saudi students in descending order. The format layout of the universities is designed to give a page-by-page brief yet detailed summary of the strengths of the universities in question and how the universities describe and project themselves. On the left is a column of the current university's vice-chancellor, chancellor, director of public relations, contact details, website and campus locations. It is the purpose of this publication to include all 38 universities in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the higher education sector in Australia. This certainly will help guide the Saudi Ministry of Higher Education and respective Saudi Universities in making decisions for the benefit of Saudi Arabia's higher education and its citizens studying abroad in Australia. The Cultural Affairs Department of the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission wishes to thank the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee, Universities Australia and all universities for their assistance and material in making this publication possible.
