AUQA Audit Process

The Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) audited UWS during 2006.  Overall the audit delivered a positive assessment of the University’s progress against its mission and objectives and endorsed its quality management system.

The University conducted a detailed Trial Audit during May 2006, and submitted a Performance Portfolio to AUQA in July. The main AUQA audit of the University occurred during August to October 2006. A selection of the offshore operations of the University were also audited, with AUQA visiting five partners in three countries. 

During October 2006, the Panel held interviews with staff, students and other stakeholders from all campuses. In all, the Audit Panel spoke with over 280 people, including the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, members of the Board of Trustees, Academic Senate, senior management, academic and general staff, research students, international students, Indigenous students, undergraduate and postgraduate students, research sponsors and community partners.

The final report of the AUQA audit of UWS details the Audit Panel’s findings, recommendations, affirmations and commendations.
