Governance

Learn how Federation's corporate and academic governance works and how our governing bodies shape strategy, policy and quality assurance. 

Federation is overseen by five council standing committees, the Academic Board and the Vice-Chancellor’s leadership team. These governance groups meet regularly to discuss and monitor University strategy, learning and teaching, policies, planning, quality, compliance and legal matters.
