As Australia’s only university established to focus on the issues of Northern Australia and the Tropics worldwide, JCU is dedicated to helping the world’s tropical regions to prosper.
History of JCU
The University was established by an Act of the Queensland Parliament, the James Cook University of North Queensland Act 1970, which provided for "the establishment and incorporation of a University at Townsville, and for purposes connected therewith". It received assent on 20 April 1970.
In 1997 the Department of Education proceeded with the remaking of Acts of Queensland universities. As a result, the James Cook University Act 1997 received assent by the Governor in Council on 29 August 1997 and was promulgated on 1 January 1998. Amendments to the James Cook University Act 1997 have recently occurred as a result of the University Legislative Amendment Bill 2005 receiving assent on 19 May 2005.
