"In 2013 the University of Ballarat resolved to request that its name be changed from the University of Ballarat to Federation University Australia to reflect its broadened focus beyond central and western Victoria.
Following that resolution, this Act was amended by the University of Ballarat Amendment (Federation University Australia) Act 2013 (the "2013 Act") to change the name of the University of Ballarat to Federation University Australia. The 2013 Act also changed the name of this Act to reflect the new name of the University.
Federation University Australia is based on a federated network of campuses in regional Victoria, partner-provider institutions across Australia and overseas as well as national and international research collaborations. The University aims to offer agile, relevant and work-ready technical, academic and research programs over the full breadth of the Australian Qualifications Framework. Federation University Australia is regional in outlook, national in scope and international in reach.
Federation University Australia is resolute in its commitment to regional, rural and remote students. It is determined to improve the participation of indigenous and Torres Strait Islander people in tertiary education. It is rigorous in its promotion of international principles. Accordingly, inclusion, access, support and empathy are its core values.".
