Governance Team

The Governance Team supports the work of the University's Council, Senate, Executive and their committees.

The Governance Team has two key purposes:

  • to facilitate good governance of the University through supporting the Council, Senate, Executive and their committees; and

  • to develop improved ways of working, ensuring that University governance remains effective into the future.

Ultimately, good governance builds a foundation for a high performing organisation and better enables the University to achieve its objectives. It ensures accountability and compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. It strengthens stakeholder engagement, builds confidence in decision-making and allows for agile and well-informed responses to challenges and opportunities.
