Hi all, just thinking thru CDU's approach to representing consultancy expenditure and wondering how others are approaching it. Current thinking is we will include a more detailed note in our annual financial statements, commencing from 2026 statements onwards. I am not aware of guidance notes or a common approach in the sector. Perhaps a forthcoming SRE might clarify things. Any feedback v much welcomed.
Hi all
The University of Canberra is due to undertake an External Review of Academic Governance and I would welcome any recommendations for reviewers.
The review will consider both the effectiveness of our current academic governance arrangements and emerging challenges facing the sector, including AI, academic quality, student outcomes and evolving regulatory expectations. We are particularly interested in someone who can provide strategic insight rather than simply assess compliance, and who brings a contemporary, future-focused perspective on academic governance.
If you've worked with a reviewer you would recommend, I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Many thanks,
Stephanie
CDU operates a Health Hub that delivers a range of clinical services. I am reaching out to seek advice regarding the governance and quality assurance processes for university-based health clinics, and role of Council and sub-committees. In addition, I would like to organise a review/audit of CDU's Health Hub. Grateful if anyone has relevant experiences to share, in particular names/contacts for someone that could undertake the review. With thanks, Brendon 0488161680

HI Brendan, at Macquarie, we have a University Health Clinics Policy: https://policies.mq.edu.au/document/view.php?id=197&version=1. This policy outlines the Governance arrangements for the University-run clinics. There isn't much involvement from Council or its subcommittees, although they are subject to a regular (internal) audit cycle.
