About us

At Federation University, the desire to transform lives and enhance communities informs everything we do. From research that improves people’s lives right around the world, to supporting our students to succeed at their studies and in life – we make a difference.
Federation University Australia was formed when the former University of Ballarat and the Gippsland Campus of Monash University were amalgamated.
Further historical information on the University is available through the Geoffrey Blainey Research Centre.
