About the University Chancellors Council
The University Chancellors Council (UCC) comprises Chancellors of all universities within Australia that are established under their own Act of Parliament. The UCC is a means for university Chancellors to discuss key issues and current events surrounding the tertiary education sector in Australia. The Council meets twice each year. Chancellors can be represented by a Deputy Chancellor or a council member of their university’s governing body during UCC meetings and events.
The purpose and function of the Council is to:
Assist Australian universities in the carrying out of their respective and collective functions;
Provide a means of voicing appropriate concerns on behalf of Australian universities on matters of governance;
To liaise with Universities Australia and similar organisations and act as ambassadors in the advancement and promotion of Australian universities;
To provide a forum for communication and discussion concerning Australian universities and related institutions; and
To carry out such activities as are necessary to further the above objects.
The UCC has proposed a number of voluntary codes to assist member universities to standardise the availability and format of information on various issues. These codes have now been approved by the membership and are available on the University Governance in Australia page.
