A shared sense of purpose, together with a common set of values, is fundamental to a rewarding culture.
Following university-wide consultation with staff and students, four core values have emerged – Integrity, Courage, Innovation and Excellence, and above all an ethos that is Student Centred.
Our collective success depends upon the achievements of our people, and it is our culture that sustains success into the future.
My actions shall speak to the world.
Matthew Flinders, 1804
Experiment and experiment bravely
Flinders University founding Vice-Chancellor, Professor Peter Karmel
Together we are meeting the challenges of a globally competitive environment by maintaining an uncompromising commitment to excellence in everything that we do.
Together, these CORE VALUES and UNDERLYING ETHOS define the way we carry out our work and study, INFORM the DECISIONS we make, underpin the policies we develop, and guide how we interact with each other and with our STAKEHOLDERS.
They are the common touchstones that SHAPE our shared culture and the foundations upon which our FUTURE SUCCESS is built.
