Corporate Governance provides governance support and advice to Council and Academic Board and their standing committees. It aims to ensure that the business of the university conducted through the peak governance bodies is facilitated in accordance with the UTS Act, UTS By-law, General Rules, Standing Orders, and relevant Council resolutions and committee constitutions.
To facilitate the work of these central decision-making bodies and committees, Corporate Governance staff are assigned a committee and project workload, among other duties. Responsibilities include working with the committee chair and relevant Deputy Vice-Chancellors and senior staff to ensure the strategic agenda and operation of the committee are run effectively (see the UTS Committees Guide (PDF 348kb) for a general guide and reference material on UTS committee functions).
Corporate Governance conducts formal university elections on behalf of the University Secretary, who is specified as the Returning Officer in the UTS Act. Information on elections, including contact details for inquiries, is available at UTS Elections.
Corporate Governance also administers the UTS Delegations and all of the university's policies and directives (see Delegations and UTS Policy).
For advice about Corporate Governance activities, contact the Deputy Director (Corporate Governance) and Deputy University Secretary. See GSU staff and contact details for contact information.
