Postgraduate (PG) services on campus
|
A reminder PARSA is still operating as normal while we work to develop the new PG services model for 2023. We have established a Postgraduate Services Support and Representation taskforce, including representatives from PARSA and ANUSA, working altogether to ensure PG services continuity and scoping out what the new model will look like.
The taskforce has met three times since July and has engaged PwC to benchmark the best models across Australian universities to inform the new model. There will be an opportunity for the community's input later this year when we open for consultation. Keep an eye out for updates. |

ANU Medical Centre procurement
|
| To continue providing high quality health services and enable an expansion of services available to meet the needs of our diverse community, ANU has commenced a two-stage procurement process for a provider of primary health services at the existing ANU Medical Centre in Kambri. Rest assured, the Centre will operate as usual during this process, with health care services still available for our community. We will continue to update you throughout the process. You can read our FAQs for more information. |
