Office of the Vice President

The Vice President, who simultaneously holds the position of Director, Identity and Mission, is responsible for advancing the Catholic identity and mission of the University in ways that are pastoral and inclusive, thus reflecting the rich diversity of the ACU community. The Vice President is responsible for the clear articulation and broad communication of ACU’s Catholic mission and character by developing programs and strategies to meet the evolving needs of the campus, Church, and local community, while strengthening the University’s position as a nationally recognised Catholic university.

The Vice President’s portfolio includes the Directorate of Identity and Mission, Campus Ministry, Community Engagement, La Salle Academy, Church Relations, Congregational Projects, Staff Formation and the ACU Centre for Liturgy. The Portfolio also serves as a resource for those wishing to better understand and explore the Catholic mission and identity of Australian Catholic University

The portfolio works across the university to build a strong commitment to the University’s mission, by animating initiatives that engage students, staff and stakeholders in deeper education and ongoing formation, helping these groups to make the mission their own and apply it concretely to their work and life.
