Council

Learn about the structure and function of the Council and its committees, and view the charters that define their roles and responsibilities.

The Council is the governing authority of Federation as set out by the Federation University Australia Act 2010 (Vic), responsible for the direction and supervision of the University. 

The Council is mostly made up of external members but also includes higher education and TAFE staff and students, general staff, and the Academic Board. This mixed membership is vital for balance in governance. Internal members understand how Federation works and external members bring independent judgement and expertise. 

Charters

The Council may delegate certain tasks to committees or management. Charters have been created to clearly define the roles, responsibilities and authorities of the following governance bodies:
    University Council
    Governance and Strategy Committee
    Audit and Risk Management Committee
    Resources Committee
    Senior Appointments and Remuneration Committee
    Inclusion Committee
    Investment Management Subcommittee

Meeting dates
