Composition, membership, powers and responsibilities of QUT Council are governed by the QUT Act 1998 (Adobe Acrobat format). Procedures for meetings, dealing with business in Council, and establishment of committees are included in Council Procedure 1 - Conduct of meetings of Council and Committees.
QUT Council comprises of senior members of the professions for which QUT prepares graduates; appointees from higher education, government, commerce and industry; elected staff, students and members of Alumni, and the University's chief executive officer.
QUT Council is empowered to establish committees and to delegate power to committees or officers of the University. While Council is ultimately responsible for the management and operation of QUT, it has delegated authority to the chief executive officer, the Vice-Chancellor, and to various senior administrators of QUT for much of the day to day management of the University (see MOPP Appendix 3 - Delegations of Authority). Council has also established a number of committees, some of which have been authorised to make decisions in respect of prescribed policy and procedural matters.
In accordance with the Governance Services policy on public access to committee documents, documents of QUT Council will not be made available through this website. However, summaries of the activites of Council and its committees are periodically published under the 'Council Reports' link to the left.
Inquiries regarding the business of QUT Council should be directed to the Council Support Officer, Claire de Groot, 3138 2954.
