Centre for Research in Equity and Advancement of Teaching and Education (CREATE)
The Centre for Research in Equity and Advancement of Teaching and Education(CREATE) led by  Associate Professor Joanne Dargusch, is a research centre designed to deliver Australia’s only comprehensive approach to new innovations in education aimed at delivering equitable education, training and employment pathways for regional Australians. Equity and inclusion are at the heart of CREATE’s approach. By working with communities and industries, we aim to improve educational opportunit
