About us

TUNRA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of Newcastle. With over 50 years of proven experience, we work with partners in Australia and internationally to delivery exceptional service, impact, and excellence.

We help industry and government partners connect with University experts through consulting projects, specialised testing services and industry training and short courses. We work within and beyond the University to create impact through the translation of research expertise to commercial outcomes.

We also support hosted projects, and offer bulk materials handling research and consulting solutions.

Where we fit

TUNRA plays a key role within the University of Newcastle ecosystem but operates as a separate commercial entity.

We work closely with the University’s Research & Innovation Division, its research institutes and centres, and with experts across the University’s three Colleges to provide a platform for collaboration that delivers results.

Our bulk solids division also offer consulting, research and testing services to industry.

Whether you’re a University expert looking to engage on consulting projects or an external partner looking to do business with University experts, TUNRA can assist.
