The University of Queensland plans to build a second student-accommodation precinct at its St Lucia campus to help address the shortage of suitable and affordable rental accommodation.

The complex will double the number of on-campus student rooms owned by the University of Queensland, following the success of the purpose-built Kev Carmody House with its 610 rooms, which opened in 2022 at 100% occupancy.

The proposed development will give students an accommodation option at below-market rates

QUT Business School climbs 10 places in the prestigious UK Financial Times 2023 ranking

The QUT Business School has climbed 10 places in the prestigious UK Financial Times 2023 customised executive education ranking, cementing its position as a world-class provider of executive education.

The announcement makes QUT the only Queensland university to feature in the international ranking for customised client education, rising from 66th last year to 56th in the world.

This is the sixth consecutive year QUT has made the elite list, which is topped by global education provider Duke Corporate Education, followed by schools in France, Spain and Germany.

The only other Australian institution in the 2023 Financial Times customised executive education ranking is AGSM at the UNSW Business School, placed 40th among 75 business schools.

La Trobe University establishes Australia’s first care-economy research institute

On 29 May 2023, La Trobe University announced the establishment of Australia’s first research institute dedicated to the care and support economy.

Over the next five years, La Trobe University will invest more than USD 20 million in CERI.

The care economy was a focus of the recent (9 May) federal budget announcement. Treasurer the Hon Jim Chalmers said the care economy is growing rapidly, driven by factors such as an ageing population, the shift from informal to formal care, and rising community expectations around standards of care. To address the needs and growth projections of the care economy, CERI will conduct research across five key areas:care technology; the care workforce; care services; care experience; and the economics, society and policy of care.

“The concept of the care economy spans life – from birth, such as maternal and child care services, through health and community care, all the way to death, including aged care, palliative care and end-of-life care. In Australia, few people, if any, do not rely on one or more of these services at some stage of their lives,” Professor Blackberry said.
