Structure of the faculty

The Faculty of Education operates across three campuses - Clayton, Gippsland and Peninsula. It functions as a single operating unit, with the dean as the chief executive officer. Major responsibilities are delegated through the dean to the principal officers of the faculty. The principal officers are:

Students wishing to make appointments with any of these officers are able to do so at short notice, and inquiries should be directed to their offices.
Since its inception, the faculty has taken pride in the collegiate nature of the relationship between its staff and students. This special relationship has meant that only rarely do academic problems arise that cannot be handled at the source, between the individual student and the academic member of staff.
The major business of the faculty is discussed by the faculty board. The faculty board consists of the dean as chair; professors of the faculty; academic staff representatives from each campus of the faculty; representatives from the external community and other faculties; and a student representative from each campus of the faculty. The board normally meets on five occasions throughout the year and receives recommendations from faculty committees for the board's approval and/or referral to the university Education Committee, Academic Board and Council.
