**About us**

At the Gulbali Institute, we are proud to be gifted our name _Gulbali ngurambang_ which translates “_to understand country_” from the Wiradjuri First Nations as the guiding principle of how we do our work to create impactful integrated agriculture, water and environment research, grounded in Charles Sturt’s footprint across the Murray-Darling Basin, but with impact across Australia and globally.

Based at the heart of the food bowl of Australia, the Institute works in close collaboration with two commercial farms, one of the largest digital farms in the Southern Hemisphere, a commercial winery and vineyard of the future and a huge range of world class technical and industry standard facilities - clinics, glasshouses, labs and studios - spanning more than 2500 hectares.

The Gulbali Institute will emphasis return on investment to increase productivity for farmer, improve natural environments and reduce risk in agricultural and environmental management

We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help their communities grow and flourish.

The Wiradjuri phrase _yindyamarra winhanganha_ means the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in. This phrase represents who we are at Charles Sturt University - our ethos. It comes from traditional Indigenous Australian knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission of universities - to develop and spread wisdom to make the world a better place.

Charles Sturt University is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
