The Delegations of Authority Policy and Appendices specify who may perform specific functions and the principles by which delegations of authority are exercised. The Delegations of Authority Register is updated on a regular basis to ensure that it remains current and relevant. The latest version, which includes new academic authorisations for Faculty Boards, is available in Policy Central.
