TEQSA is a Commonwealth statutory authority responsible for regulation and quality assurance of higher education in Australia. At TEQSA I led the development of its risk-based framework, its information strategy and designing its streamlined regulatory processes. I worked closely with its peer agency in vocational education, ASQA, to ensure alignment and coordination and with the Higher Education Standards Panel on major revisions to standards. As a Commissioner I made regulatory decisions, either as part of the Commission, or under delegation, in relation to provider registrations, course accreditations, and related matters.
