As part of a scheduled review and in response to a recent internal audit, proposed amendments to the Third-Party Academic Partnerships Policy, Procedures and Templates have been developed and are now open for consultation.

Ensuring strong governance and oversight of the University’s third-party delivery arrangements is critical to maintaining compliance with the Higher Education Standards (HES) Framework. These amendments are designed to meet our HES obligations, reflect best practice, and enhance clarity and accessibility for staff — supporting confident and consistent implementation across all relevant areas.

The draft policy, procedures and templates can be viewed in the Policy Library under Comment on draft policies: https://www.flinders.edu.au/policies/comment-draft-policies.

Feedback can be provided via email to policy@flinders.edu.au by Friday, 8 August 2025.
