Sustainability

At Murdoch University, Sustainability is everyone’s business. We encourage all staff and students to get involved in making our campuses truly sustainable.

Learn and engage

Familiarise yourself with the university’s strategy Ngala Kwop Biddi – Building a Brighter Future, Together. Strategy 2023-2030 | Murdoch University.
Find more information on Murdoch University’s Sustainability webpage.
Connect and collaborate with one of the Guild’s sustainability-focused clubs or contact the Guild Sustainability Representative if you have any questions or suggestions.
Check out Murdoch University’s Sustainability Office events to meet the team and find out how you can get involved.

Act and commit

Align your club values with our key strategic pillars by adding sustainability to your club’s constitution.
Consider ways to make your events more sustainable by following the circularity hierarchy and avoiding waste as much as possible.

  • Avoiding wasteful giveaways.
  • Choose reusable items, over disposables whenever possible.
  • If buying equipment, try sourcing it second-hand if possible or borrow it from the guild/another club.
