Broome University Access Expands to Support Regional Workforce

A new initiative in Broome aims to improve access to university study for regional students and help address workforce shortages across the Kimberley.

As reported by ABC News, the University of Notre Dame’s Broome campus will expand its offerings in 2026 to include Bachelor of Primary Education and Bachelor of Commerce degrees, alongside its existing medical program. The move will enable more students to study and stay in the region while completing their qualifications.

This development supports national efforts to strengthen regional university participation and aligns closely with PKUC’s commitment to improving local education pathways and building a skilled Pilbara–Kimberley workforce.
