Leap UNSW Technology Strategy
Technology powering Progress for All
Leap is UNSW’s Technology Strategy.
Ambition alone isn't enough. To deliver Progress for All, UNSW must move faster, work smarter and stay connected as one institution.
Leap is our University-wide Technology Strategy, designed to strengthen our digital foundations, connect our people, and create the platforms that make progress possible.
Where Progress for All defines our horizon, Leap is how we move our technology landscape toward it, boldly, together and at pace.

Our commitments
Our technology landscape collectively commits to these promises across the ten year arc of Progress for All.
Our focus to 2028
Leap translates long-term technology ambition into focused action for 2026 - 2028.
-
We will simplify and modernise UNSW’s digital environment, reducing friction and improving journeys that matter most. By consolidating portals and strengthening core services, we will move closer to an engaging, intuitive experience for our students, academics, and professional staff.
-
We will ensure every dollar invested in technology delivers visible benefit. By actively prioritising and simplifying, we will move closer to an environment where duplication is eliminated, investments are transparent, and resources flow to what matters most.
-
We will change how technology work gets done — breaking down silos, simplifying processes, and enabling collaboration. By embedding outcome-focused practices and empowered teams, we will move closer to faster, clearer, and more accountable delivery.
-
We will build digital confidence and leadership across UNSW. By lifting capability, enabling safe citizen-led development, and growing internal talent, we will move closer to a community where everyone engages with technology confidently and responsibly.
-
We will make UNSW a place where innovation is bold, safe, and values driven. By embedding ethics, sustainability, and proportionate guardrails, we will move closer to an environment where staff and students can experiment confidently and scale the ideas that work.
Moving forward together
Technology is a collective capability. Leap recognises that technology at UNSW is delivered across central and local environments. Leap is the shared direction for the technology landscape. When technology decisions align to Leap, they strengthen the University as a whole and move us closer to Progress.
