Governance

Our mission is to change lives and change the world.

Flinders University’s leadership strives to ensure that we work toward realising our vision and achieve our mission.

Our vision is to become internationally recognised as a world leader in research, an innovator in contemporary education, and the source of Australia’s most enterprising graduates. Our mission: to change lives and change the world.

Flinders is governed by Council.

Council is the principal policy and decision-making body at Flinders, and responds to the University’s needs and interests, as well as those of the wider community. To best carry out this role, the majority of Council members are external to Flinders, while the University is amply represented by executive, academic, professional and student members.
