Get Involved

 

CUC RAPAD Central West Queensland is a community-owned initiative. The success of our study hubs depends on strong partnerships with local businesses, organisations, councils, and individuals who believe in the power of education to strengthen regional communities.

By getting involved, you are investing directly in people from Central West Queensland to study, qualify, and build their futures close to home.

 

Why your support matters

Students studying from rural and remote communities face unique challenges. While our hubs provide free study spaces and support, many students still experience barriers such as:

  • The cost of travel and accommodation for compulsory placements
  • Limited access to technology or specialist equipment
  • Financial pressure while balancing work, family, and study
  • Isolation from peers and support networks

Partnerships and donations help remove these barriers and ensure students can focus on their studies and succeed.

 

How you can make an impact

Support from our partners helps us deliver meaningful outcomes across the region, including:

  • Technology and infrastructure
    Contributing to reliable internet, computers, smart screens, printers, and accessible learning technology across our hubs.
  • Scholarships and bursaries
    Providing targeted financial support aligned with local workforce needs and priority study areas.
  • Student experience and outreach
    Supporting careers events, school outreach, mentoring, and programs that raise aspiration and awareness of tertiary pathways.
  • Local workforce development
    Helping students gain qualifications and return to work in their own communities, strengthening the region’s future workforce.

 

Partnership opportunities

We offer a range of partnership opportunities, from community champions to major sponsors. All partnerships are designed to be mutually beneficial and are recognised through:

  • Community and media acknowledgement
  • Digital and printed communications
  • Events and local engagement opportunities
  • Connection with students and future workforce talent

Full details of partnership options and impact areas are outlined in our Partnership Prospectus.
