Authority1The University Council has made these delegations under section 17 of the University of Wollongong Act 1.1989 (the UOW Act) which provides that Council may delegate all or any of its functions (except this power of delegation) to any member or committee of Council or to any authority or officer of the University or to any other person or body prescribed by the University of Wollongong By-law 2005 (the UOW By-law).
These delegations are also made in accordance with:2.
a. Sections 12 and 13 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983;
b. Schedule 2 of the UOW Act and Part 4, Schedule 4 of the Public Authorities (Financial Arrangements) Act 1987; and
c. The Interpretation Act 1987.
Purpose of Policy2The UOW Act, and other relevant laws, authorise the University to engage in a range of functions. The 1.functions are listed in the UOW Act and in other Acts (such as the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983). Functions broadly describe the types of activities in which the University can participate (for example, the conferring of degrees, the construction of residences, the employment of staff etc.). Under the UOW Act, the authority to engage in functions is vested solely in the Council.
As the Council is unable, on a day to day basis, to make the decisions necessary to run a large and complex 2.organisation like a University, the UOW Act allows the Council to delegate its authority to officers or committees of the University.
A delegation is a conferral by the Council of its power and authority to perform functions on an officer or 3.body of the University.
Under section 49 of the Interpretation Act 1987, a delegated function that is duly exercised by a delegate is 4.taken to have been exercised by the Council.
Although the Council may delegate its functions to officers or committees of the University, the Council 5.retains and can exercise all those same powers and authorities.
This policy provides the delegations of authority relating to the following matters at the University of 6.Wollongong:
Financial Delegationsa.
Employment Delegationsb.
Academic Delegationsc.
Contract and Agreement Delegationsd.
IT Delegationse.
Miscellaneous Delegationsf.

A designated officer with authority to act on behalf of the University of Wollongong to exercise the rights, powers, duties, discretions and authorities of the University under the Student Accommodation Project Deed between the University of Wollongong and the Living & Learning Custodians Pty Ltd.
At present, the Director, Commercial Developments Unit holds the position of ‘University Representative, Accommodation Deed’.
Application and Scope4The policy applies to staff and committees of the University of Wollongong as specified in the delegations of 1.authority.
Nothing in the delegations of authority has the effect of invalidating past acts validly performed by delegates 2.under previous delegations.
General Principles of Delegation5Context
All delegations must be read subject to, and exercised in accordance with the relevant:2.
Legislation: In particular, the University of Wollongong Act 1989 (NSW) and delegated a.legislation (the University of Wollongong By-Law 2005 and University Rules) and other relevant legislation (e.g. Higher Education Support Act 2003 (Commonwealth), Fair Work Act 2009 (Commonwealth));
Industrial awards and agreements;b.
University policies, codes of conduct, duly established procedures or guidelines; andc.
Resolutions of the Council.d.
Delegates
Delegations are conferred on a position and thus to the incumbent of the position at that time.3.
The incumbent includes the acting or temporary occupant of a positon where the acting or temporary 4.appointment has been formally approved and can be evidenced in writing.
UOW-POL-004 Delegations of Authority Policy – April 2018 Page 6 of 95
Hardcopies of this document are considered uncontrolled please refer to the UOW website or intranet for the latest version.
Where a delegation is to a committee, the delegation refers to the committee acting as a whole in accordance 5.with its terms of reference and not to individual members of that committee.
If a position or committee is abolished or re-named, the delegation should be taken to be a reference to the 6.principal successor to the functions of that position or committee. Such minor amendments can be made to this policy without further recourse to Council.
A delegate cannot exercise a delegation in regard to functions or staff for which the delegate does not hold 7.line management responsibility.
Any delegation to incur expenditure must be exercised in accordance with the relevant budget or an approved 8.source of funds. All delegations are to be exercised subject to the delegate’s expenditure delegation.
Authority should be exercised by the lowest level delegate in the first instance and escalated to a superior 9.level delegate if there the lower delegate is unavailable or has a conflict of interest (refer section 5.10-5.11).
With the exception of the Vice-Chancellor, no delegate is authorised to sub-delegate any or all of the 10.delegate’s delegated functions to another person or group of persons.
Conflict of Interest
A delegate must not exercise a delegation if it involves a contravention of the Conflict of Interest Policy. 11.For example, delegates may not approve their own appointment, any form of remuneration or payment, promotion, transfer or secondment, travel, absence or termination pertaining to themselves or to officers with whom they have a close personal relationship or external business relationship.
If a delegate is unable to carry out the duties associated with that delegation for any reason, including a 12.potential or actual conflict of interest or an absence or incapacity, the delegation must be exercised by a superior level delegate in this Policy.
Vice-Chancellor’s Delegated Authority
The Vice-Chancellor has the power and authority to exercise any delegation conferred by the Council on an 13.officer except delegations:
made to a member of the Council (except the Vice-Chancellor);a.
made to a Committee of the Council;b.
that would exceed the general expenditure delegation granted to the Vice-Chancellor;c.
pertaining to the position of Vice-Chancellor (for example, the appointment, terms and d.conditions and/or resignation of the Vice-Chancellor).
The Vice-Chancellor is authorised by the Council to formally sub-delegate any of the functions delegated to 14.him/her under this Policy and through section 5.12 (above). Any sub-delegation of a function of the Vice-Chancellor under this Policy must be approved in writing and reflected in an amendment to the Delegations of Authority Policy.
The Vice-Chancellor’s exercise of his sub-delegation function will be reported annually to the Risk, Audit 15.and Compliance Committee.
Exercise of Delegations
The exercise of a delegation must be evidenced in writing and a record kept in an official file or system.16.
For routine transactions, such as travel, minor equipment purchases, petty cash etc., the signing of the 17.relevant form or similar document by an authorised delegate is sufficient evidence of the exercise of the delegation as long as the purpose for which the exercise was made is clearly described in the document.
Approval exercised online within a computerised system, which has secured login access and a unique 18.username used for tracking the delegate’s approval against transactions, will be sufficient to meet the requirements of this clause.
