As an ambitious young university focused on embedding excellence, strong leadership and governance is our bedrock. It supports the smooth functioning of a complex organisation, allowing the many layers of leadership and multiple departments to work effectively together to deliver the best outcomes for students, staff and the wider community.
And ours is a more complex university than most. ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø is a public institution, recognised and funded by the Commonwealth Government, but also a public company. Our incorporation allows us to conduct ourselves as a Catholic university, and means we are governed in accordance with our constitution.
Working alongside our Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Zlatko Skrbis, the members of our leadership team are all responsible for a number of portfolios within the university from the four Faculties to Student Administration.
Meet the men and women leading ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø into an exciting future. Making up the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee, our leadership team is dedicated to leading by example and living our mission and values every day.
