Be Ready Equity Packs

CQUniversity is Australia’s first and only social enterprise university. We are deeply committed to social innovation, embedding it across education, training and research to empower students, staff and communities to create positive change. 

The School of Access Education holds a strong commitment to social justice and the provision of opportunities that foster greater social inclusion in Higher Education. Our staff have identified that many students begin their studies without the necessary stationery and technology, experiencing significant barriers in obtaining even the most basic study materials. For some students, this could be the key to whether or not they complete their course.

To address this challenge, the School’s Social Innovation Working Party has created the Be Ready Equity Packs initiative. Our aim is to provide equity packs to students in need, equipping them with essential study resources and helping to remove financial obstacles that may impact their academic journey. By supporting students in this way, we aim to foster an inclusive and equitable learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. 

How Can You Help?

While the idea behind the Be Ready Equity Packs is powerful, it is only achievable with your support. Each pack will cost approximately $600, and we are hoping to secure funding for 50 packs in total. We are asking for your donation toward this crucial initiative.  Every contribution will go directly towards purchasing the items for the packs.
