Academic Board standing committees
Our four standing committees meet regularly to support the Academic Board.
Standing committees work alongside the Academic Board to help us meet our academic governance responsibilities. This support ensures we follow the standards set by regulatory bodies like the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) and the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).
