After four Catholic tertiary institutions in eastern Australia were combined, Australian Catholic University (ACU) was established on January 1, 1991.
As a Catholic university, we are stewards of our Catholic tradition and our unique Australian heritage. Our mission defines who we are, what we do and the outcomes we strive to achieve for our students and staff. We actively support the living out of our mission in many ways and invite all our staff, students and stakeholders to join us on this journey.
