Flinders University

Flinders University A leading international university in Australia. CRICOS: 00114A

Flinders University was founded in an era of profound social, political and technological change, when longstanding conventions were being challenged by a new generation of ambitious young thinkers. A product of these times, we have always been ready to step away from the security of the familiar and forge new ways forward. From the ambition of our namesake, to the charge of our founding Vice Chan

cellor, this appetite for exploration is ingrained in our DNA. It has shaped our world-class curriculum, and the physical and online environments we live, learn and work in. Vibrant spaces enable new connections between academics, students and industry, giving rise to innovative, agile hubs that can quickly adapt to new challenges and opportunities.

Did you know there are four award categories you can nominate for in this year's Flinders Alumni Awards? 🏆

Last year’s John Moriarty AM Impact Award winner, Professor Jackie Huggins AM was recognised for exceptional leadership in the Australian reconciliation movement and commitment to creating an equitable future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Professor Huggins believes education is the key to reconciliation. It starts with Indigenous Australians succeeding in higher education, then educating all Australians about Indigenous social justice issues.

This World Nutrition Day, we’re celebrating students Amelie and Sarah and their passion for food, health and wellbeing 🥑🍎

For Amelie, studying nutrition has deepened her passion for the field and opened her eyes to the many different career paths and ways nutrition can support positive health outcomes and communities.

For Sarah, studying nutrition has strengthened her understanding of the role food plays in health and wellbeing, and her love of turning science and evidence into practical advice that helps people thrive.

Interested in studying nutrition? Mid year entries are now open for some of our nutrition degrees: https://www.flinders.edu.au/study/health/nutrition?utm_campaign=sprout&utm_content=1779952020&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_source=facebook

Welcome to National Reconciliation Week!

This year's theme is - All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.

Last week, we came together as a community to launch Flinders University's new Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan 2026–2030 and Indigenous Workforce Strategy, a strengthened commitment to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, knowledges and leadership across our university.

This week, join us:

Meet the Flinders "fossil hunter" joining an elite group of the world's top scientists! 👏

Flinders University Emeritus Professor John Long has been admitted as a Fellow to the prestigious Australian Academy of Science.

This honour recognises Professor Long's decades of groundbreaking paleontological research, which has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of vertebrate evolution.

From Antarctica to the remote Gogo sites in Western Australia, Professor Long has:
▪️ Discovered and formally identified 90 previously unknown prehistoric taxa (including ancient fishes, Australia's oldest theropod dinosaur, and the world's oldest reptile tracks).
▪️ Led the globally cited "origins of s*x" research, discovering the origins of vertebrate s*xual reproduction in 380-million-year-old fossil fishes.
▪️ Set global benchmarks, becoming the first Australian to serve as President of the world's largest palaeontology group, the Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology.

Flinders University was today the stage for a major national health and medical research announcement.

Minister for Health and Ageing Mark Butler MP chose Flinders - one of the nation’s fastest growing research universities - as his location to outline the future of health and medical research funding in Australia for the next decade.

Joined by Vice-Chancellor Professor Colin Stirling, and with an audience of Flinders researchers gathered at our state-of-the-art Health and Medical Research Building, the Minister revealed the Federal Government’s commitment to boost investment in medical research, with $508 million in additional funding through the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF).

The announcement aligns with today’s release of the National Health and Medical Research Strategy, supporting researchers like those at Flinders, who are searching for new treatments that will change lives for the better.
