Why it Matters

At Southern Cross University, we understand that the challenges of tomorrow cannot be solved with yesterday’s solutions. As the world continues to evolve, so too do the needs of our communities. Your support is the key to shaping a safer, more sustainable future. One where opportunity, innovation, and impact are within reach for all.

From work at the Bee Research and Extension Lab to combat varroa mite to developing bioplastic with black soldier fly farming and more effective antibiotics with oyster blood proteins, Southern Cross researchers are tackling some of the biggest problems we face.

You can support their ground-breaking research by making a tax-deductible donation to the University. 100% of every donation goes directly to the cause.

About our research

Solving the complex challenges facing our planet requires bold, transformative research. At Southern Cross University, our researchers are committed to creating real-world solutions in critical areas, from food security and sustainable agriculture to climate resilience, circular economies, and ecosystem restoration.

Through collaborative, multidisciplinary approaches, we’re tackling urgent global problems while delivering tangible benefits for our local and regional communities. By aligning our strengths, resources and ideas, we’re not just advancing knowledge we’re driving change. Our goal is clear - a better, safer, more sustainable world.

Nature's waste warriors

Your support can accelerate discoveries that transform food waste into solutions for a greener future like our research into black soldier fly farming to create sustainable bioplastics.

Sustainable solutions for crops

If we can transform one of the world’s most resource-intensive crops, imagine the potential for global change. Your support can reshape agriculture, conserve resources, and build a more sustainable future.

Science from the sea

Your support can help unlock life-saving discoveries, like using proteins found in oyster blood to develop next-generation antibiotics, a vital step in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance.

Guardians of our food supply

If one bee can keep our food system alive by pollinating essential crops, imagine the impact of funding research that protects them, securing food supplies and supporting ecosystem health for the future.

Create meaningful change - your way

There are many ways to give, each offering a powerful opportunity to make a difference. You might choose to support students through life-changing scholarships, advance research that tackles real-world challenges, or leave a legacy that reflects your values and shapes the future. Your gift can open doors, spark discoveries, and ensure the causes you care about continue to thrive for generations to come. Whatever matters most to you, we’re here to help you make it meaningful.
