Universities Australia: The peak body representing Australia's Universities

Chancellors at Australia's universities

Print the page | A | A | A

Chancellors are appointed to chair the university's council (governing body) as the senior office holder of the University. They also confer the academic awards of the university, and represent the university at meetings, functions and ceremonies.

In March 2007 Chancellors decided to formally incorporate as the University Chancellors' Council (UCC). The UCC meets twice a year. Universities Australia and the UCC also host a joint meeting between Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors on an annual basis, around the Universities Australia AGM.

The Chair for 2013 is Dr Ian Gould, Chancellor of the University of South Australia.
