Help support UniSC’s students, communities and research.
Give $30 for 30 years. Shape what comes next.
Why your support matters
Thirty years ago, UniSC was built on a simple belief: our community deserved a world‑class university of its own.
Today, that belief has shaped tens of thousands of lives - graduates who are now nurses, teachers, engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs and community leaders across the Sunshine Coast and beyond.
As we celebrate 30 years, we invite you to be part of what comes next.
Three decades. Three areas of impact.
Your gift of $30 supports the next chapter of UniSC through three focused areas - each reflecting the future we want to build together:
Supporting students
Help students stay on track with bursaries that ease financial pressure and keep education within reach.
Financial stress is one of the biggest barriers preventing students from completing their degree. A Study Support Bursary of $2,500 helps students cover essentials such as:
- Rent and living costs
- Textbooks and study materials
- Fuel, transport and placement expenses
- Technology and equipment
Your gift helps keep students focused, confident, and on track to succeed.
Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar by the Scott Williams Foundation. $30 becomes $60.*
Protecting our environment
Support the UniSC Milbi Centre to rescue and rehabilitate endangered sea turtles along our coast.
The UniSC Milbi Centre provides critical care for injured and ill sea turtles across our coastline.
With your support, we can expand its capacity to:
- Rehabilitate more rescued turtles
- Advance marine conservation research
- Train students in hands-on wildlife care
- Protect the future of vulnerable marine populations
Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar by the Sandy Michell Legacy Fund. $30 becomes $60.†
Strengthening communities
Back critical research into trauma and PTSD, supporting healthier, more resilient communities.
At the National PTSD Research Centre, UniSC’s researchers are transforming the way trauma is understood and treated.
Your support helps:
- Advance clinical trials for innovative therapies like Reconsolidation Therapy
- Improve treatment outcomes for veterans, first responders and people affected by trauma
- Train clinicians and translate research into real-world care
- Deliver practical support when communities need it most
Together, we can help redefine recovery and strengthen community wellbeing.
Every gift makes an impact
“Receiving this bursary gives me that bit of breathing room I need. I don’t have to choose between a shift and a study session, or between fuel and wifi.”
Emerson
Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) student
“Every turtle that arrives at the Milbi Centre has a story. Gifts from our community - large or small - gives us the ability to write the best ending for each one.”
Professor Kathy Townsend
Associate Dean, Research
“For 1.4 million Australians living with PTSD, better treatment can't come soon enough. Your support of the Thompson Institute helps make that treatment a reality, sooner.”
Professor Alain Brunet
Thompson Institute and National PTSD Centre director

The end of financial year is approaching. Every gift made before 30 June 2026 is tax deductible and 100% goes directly to the cause you care most about. Plus, eligible gifts will be matched dollar for dollar.
