The Delegations Framework provides the structure for the allocation, exercise and management of delegations of authority.

The following documents constitute the Framework:

The Delegations Framework supports the University's governance arrangements, objectives and principles for decision making that align responsibility, accountability and capability.

All authorised delegations are published in the Delegations Register.
