Applications open for 8 new Regional University Centres!

Applications are now open for community-owned organisations to apply to establish a Regional University Centre (RUC) in their local area.

Up to eight new RUCs were funded in 2020 as part of the Job-Ready Graduates package. Community-owned organisations can now apply for this funding and open a Regional University Centre in their part of regional or remote Australia.

The Government has committed to establishing four new Centres in South Australia including Mount Barker and Victor Harbor.

Applications close at 5.00pm (AEDT time) on 25th March 2022. See the DESE website for more information.
