WSU is an innovative, agile and young university, committed to making a difference in our community. We are deeply embedded in, and serve as an anchor institution for, the Western Sydney region – Australia’s fastest growing economy and the focus of the nation’s largest infrastructure projects. Our world-class research addresses the most pressing social challenges, improves public services, supports industry and enhances economic development. Many of our researchers are acknowledged national leaders and 85% of our research has been assessed as world standard or above, according to the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) evaluation. We work with our extensive network of partners in the public and private sector to make the university’s deep expertise accessible and transferable – achieving real world impact, both locally and internationally. Across our health fields we have over 12,500 students in clinical or related placements in every hospital in the region. With our industry and government partners we run ‘LaunchPad’, Western Sydney’s first and only network of start-up incubators, where health innovation and health-tech are focal points. Our commitment to the region and its community is unrivalled, and we are excited to connect with new partners and do even more.
