Charles Darwin University (CDU), established in 2003 through the merger of Northern Territory University, Menzies School of Health Research, and Centralian College, stands as the Northern Territory's premier public university. Dual-sector in nature, CDU delivers both higher education degrees and vocational training across its main Casuarina campus in Darwin and satellite sites in Palmerston, Alice Springs, Katherine, Nhulunbuy, Tennant Creek, Sydney, and Brisbane.
