Our Strategic Plan: 2025 Strategic Refresh (PDF 5.5MB) continues to focus our mission on being a University for Tasmania and which makes a distinctive contribution from Tasmania, by working with the community and each other.
The Strategic Refresh demonstrates how the University can play a key role in enabling the transitions we need to see Tasmania make by 2050. We will focus our efforts and contributions where we can make a real difference – education, health, productivity, and climate – as well as nurturing our Tasmanian stories to ground us in our sense of place and help us envision a hopeful future.
How our strategy was refreshed
Our strategic refresh was built through deep engagement across the University over the period from early 2023 through to the end of 2024.
Staff and students in all Colleges, Divisions and locations participated in conversations about the University’s strategic context, global challenges, and the potential role of the University.
Around 90 workshops, and exhibitions spaces on each campus, offered places to engage with these issues, and the Point of Choice (PDF 17.7 MB) essay was shared with all staff to allow a more in-depth exploration. Key themes arising in these conversations were summarised and shared for further comment and feedback.
During this process, the Federal Government released the Universities Accord Final Report, and a series of team-based sessions were held across the University to better understand how this may influence our strategic priorities, ways of working and future goals.
Together, this engagement resulted in our Strategic Plan: 2025 Strategic Refresh (PDF 5.5MB), with its strong mission focus seeking to make a transformative contribution to Tasmania, and the world, over the next 25 years.
