Free flu vaccinations are now available for ANU staff.
Our 2021 financial results are now available - these results have been finalised through the auditing process and approved by Council, and they are better than we expected at the start of 2021.
ANU has a large Long-term Investment Portfolio (LTIP) of approximately $1.4 billion. Almost all of the LTIP (99.59 per cent) was compliant with the objectives of the University’s 2021 Socially Responsible Investment report.
You will receive an email invitation with the title "UniForum Service Effectiveness Assessment: your feedback on services at ANU" tomorrow with a link to access the survey online, which will close at 5pm on Friday 6 May 2022. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete.
The research team is based in the Research School of Chemistry and led by Professor Colin Jackson.

A window to our past
Skaidrite Darius (pictured) migrated from Latvia after the Second World War. In 1955 she joined the John Curtin School of Medical Research as an accounting machinist.
In 1963, Darius faced a difficult decision when she asked for leave to give birth. Maternity leave did not exist, and the University refused to hold her position. Darius's male colleagues rallied behind her, and the University eventually granted her leave without pay. Undeterred, she became head of the then all-male data processing unit in the 1970s.
