University Management Board

UMB is the senior leadership team that advises the President on all major strategic, policy and operational issues.  It reports through the President to Council and comprises the academic leadership and senior professional services staff of the University. UMB is responsible for identifying, guiding, overseeing and approving all major strategic initiatives, governance matters, policies and financial strategy, in line with the institutional strategy and budget approved by Council. It oversees the university’s core academic mission of education, research and translation, and the Faculties and professional services that deliver this mission. It is responsible for managing institutional risk; prioritising resources; and monitoring academic, operational, and financial performance in alignment with the framework set by Council.  

UMB is supported by its committees, each with defined terms of reference and chaired by a UMB member to provide cohesion. These committees report regularly to the UMB on their activities providing structured oversight and accountability.
