Government policy impacts on all areas of Australian Catholic University’s operations, including teaching, research and graduate employment. As a public university, government is a major provider of funding, a key employer of graduates and the principal source of regulation for the University.
The University actively engages with government and contributes to the development of public policy in areas of relevance to the University, in line with its mission and strategic objectives.
The Office of the Vice-Chancellor and President (OVCP) is responsible for managing high level public policy issues, particularly related to the higher education sector and the regulation of the University's key disciplines, on behalf of the University in a strategic and coordinated way. The OVCP works collaboratively with functional units across the University and with external stakeholders, including Church stakeholders, to articulate and progress the University's public policy position in line with its mission.
