Optimising Australia's conceptually confused National Training System

Super structure works for Charles Darwin University’s (CDU) new $250 million Education and Community Precinct are now complete, with a topping out ceremony held on-site finalising the milestone.

CDU Vice-Chancellor Professor Scott Bowman joined Assistant Regional Development and Education Minister, Senator Anthony Chisholm, Halikos Managing Director Shane Dignan and Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) representative Cathie McBean to celebrate this achievement.

The historic Barunga Statement, a pivotal moment in the journey towards First Nations rights in Australia, commemorated its 35th anniversary this year at the annual Barunga festival.

The festival, held in the remote community of Barunga in the Northern Territory, was a celebration of culture, music, and reconciliation.

Charles Darwin University (CDU) Vice-Chancellor Professor Scott Bowman said the Barunga Statement has significantly shaped the Territory’s history.
