"By reaching this sustainable level of financial achievement, it has allowed us to embark on a range of initiatives that benefits our most important asset: our people.

"For our students, we have been able to offer more scholarships and improve equity and access; and we have given our staff salary increases and improved working conditions.

"We are also making significant investments in the buildings and facilities which house our students and staff, to give them the highest quality environment for learning, teaching and research."
