Become a Changemaker Transcript

Embedding social innovation principles and practice across our education, training and research, we work with government, industry, business and community to empower people to solve real-life challenges.

In 2017, CQUniversity took our social innovation agenda global, as Australia’s first Changemaker university with Ashoka U, an international network of universities committed to social innovation, entrepreneurship and impact.

And in 2021, we became Australia’s first and only social enterprise university, certified by Social Traders.

A social enterprise is a business that operates for social, community and environmental benefit, and CQUniversity achieves this impact as Australia’s most inclusive, accessible, supportive and socially innovative university.
