Policy Consultation Notice Board
The policy notice board supports the consultation process by giving members of the university community the opportunity to provide input on the development and review of policy instruments.
Consultation is considered a key element of the university's Policy Framework. Consultation throughout the development and review cycle is crucial to the effective administration of policy instruments and has the potential for increasing adoption and improving the quality of policy outcomes.
As part of the consultation process, Policy Owners will submit drafts of new policy instruments that are under development, and existing policy instruments under review, for posting to this page. Please contact the Policy Office to arrange for publication on this page.

Policy Instrument Input
You may submit your feedback and recommendations for any of the posted policy instruments using the Policy Instrument Feedback Form.
Some of the key aspects of the policy instrument you may want to consider in providing your feedback are:
-
Clarity: Is it clear what the purpose of the policy instrument is? Is it understandable? Is it likely to achieve its intended purpose?
-
Consistency and overlap: Is the policy instrument consistent with the Policy Framework and other approved university policies and procedures? Are there potential areas of overlap and/or conflict with other policy instruments?
-
Operational practicality and impact: What is the potential impact of the policy instrument? This includes the impact on students, faculty, staff, or other significant institutional relationships, as well as potential risks, costs and operational requirements to implement the policy instrument.
-
Implementation and communication: What are some of the factors that should be considered in how the policy instrument is implemented? Who may need to be notified? What type of resources and education are needed to support the implementation?
