| Murdoch University is one of five universities in Western Australia. Planning for Murdoch began in 1970. The second university to be established in Western Australia and the seventeenth in Australia, it was formally constituted on 25 July 1973, the date on which the Governor appointed the first members of the University Senate under section 12(1)(9) of the Murdoch University Act. The University’s vision is to “be a prominent and influential research-intensive University in the local, national and global communities. It will be renowned for its teaching quality, research excellence and innovation, and promotion of social and scientific critique. Murdoch University will embrace cultural diversity and ensure an international perspective in its activities, incorporating principles of sustainability, social justice and global responsibility."
