The Geraldton University Access Group

It is the vision of the University Access Group that the Geraldton Universities Centre will be a central point for the delivery of the university courses into Geraldton. The Centre will work with universities to deliver more programs to meet local needs and to support  those students already studying.

This centre will grow to cater for approximately 300 - 400 students. Funding for $2.5M for a purpose built facility was confirmed for 2004 and 2005.
