Consultative Committees

Consultative Committees (or sometimes referred to as Advisory Boards) are an important mechanism for ECU to ensure the relevance and quality of its courses, teaching, research, and possibilities for collaboration through external referencing. This is facilitated through engagement with a range of key stakeholders including members of industry, business, government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community sectors.

Consultative Committees may be associated with one specific course, or several similar or related courses, however it is important that all ECU courses are advised by a Consultative Committee.

Consultative Committees provide high level advice to the University about courses, teaching, research, and possibilities for collaboration across a range of activities. The Consultative Committee provides key external referencing to ensure the University is provided with diverse perspectives, including from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as opportunities for the University to gain insight into student employability and future careers success. Feedback from the Consultative Committee is used to inform the development of new courses, and in the review and improvement of current courses and units.

The Committee is led by an independent Chair, with members selected for their unique expertise in their field and knowledge in government, the sector, universities, and their dedication to research.
