Engagement and impact

In the community

From innovative research initiatives to community outreach programs and student engagement events, we actively engage with diverse stakeholders to address real-world challenges.

Financial literacy workshops

Financial literacy is unique to each individual, influenced by their personal financial situation, goals, knowledge and preferences. Factors like education, income, cultural background and life experiences all play a role in shaping one’s financial literacy.

Key skills needed for understanding personal finance include: budgeting, investing, debt management, and planning for financial security and stability, and these skills need to be tailored to a person’s specific circumstances.

The Faculty of Business and Law’s Financial Literacy project, supported by the Rural Regional Remote (RRR) Women’s Network of WA, is dedicated to promoting economic inclusion for women in remote, regional, and rural communities.

Carbon Literacy Training

We are delighted to announce that we have been accredited as a Bronze Carbon Literate Educator by the UN-recognised Carbon Literacy Project.

This prestigious accreditation recognises our commitment to embed climate education and action, through Carbon Literacy, into our educational institution and ethos, and facilitate a cultural shift to a zero-carbon society.

Carbon Literacy is defined as, “An awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis,” and revolves around a day’s worth of learning and action on climate change.

The Sustainable Events Guide

In alignment with SDG12 and 13, this new document provides a step-by-step check list to help embed more sustainable business practices. We would like to acknowledge that this was a Students as Partners initiative.

These guidelines were inspired by a Tourism Hospitality and Events student assessment completed by Chrisina Jardim, as part of MGMT2003 Sustainable Event Development.
