CIT’s Tough Financial Turnaround | Australia News

Canberra Institute of Technology is in financial crisis, needing to slash 10% from its budget to stop deficits—no magic money tree here. With a former CEO leaving with a big payout and Dr. Margot McNeill stepping down amid weeks of absence, the board led by Tom Rogers is focused on rebuilding trust while cutting costs. Expenditures ballooned over $16 million last year due to wage hikes, prompting voluntary redundancies and a structural overhaul to reduce senior roles—a move sparked by last year’s review that flagged weak oversight. Enrollment has dropped nationally, but CIT saw a small uptick last year. Despite turbulence, Rogers is optimistic about CIT’s future and committed to preserving courses while streamlining operations.
