We welcome the appointment of Lynelle Briggs AO by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) as independent expert for the next phase of compliance for the ANU.

Ms Briggs is former Public Service Commissioner and was made an Office of the Order of Australia in 2013 for distinguished service to public administration and is well placed to provide an impartial view.

We were pleased to submit our Self Assurance Report to TEQSA on 19 August 2025, which has now been released publicly on our website.

We welcome the opportunity to continue working with TEQSA on the remaining compliance assessment requirements and keeping our community informed throughout the process.

ANU Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Genevieve Bell
