3 Application and Scope
- 1. The policy applies to staff and committees of the University of Wollongong as specified in the delegations of authority.
- 2. Nothing in the delegations of authority has the effect of invalidating past acts validly performed by delegates under previous delegations.
4 General Principles of Delegation
- 1. Delegations are conferred on a position and thus to the incumbent of the position at that time. Where a delegation is to a committee, the delegation refers to the committee acting as a whole not to individual members of that committee.
- 2. If a position or committee is abolished or re-named, the delegation should be taken to be a reference to the principal successor to the functions of that position or committee. Such minor amendments can be made to this policy without further recourse to Council.
- 3. A delegate must not exercise a delegation if it involves a contravention of the Conflict of Interest Policy.
- 4. No delegate is authorised to sub-delegate any or all of the delegate’s delegated functions to another person or group of persons.
- 5. All delegations must be read subject to, and exercised in accordance with the relevant:
- a. Legislation: In particular, the University of Wollongong Act 1989 (NSW) and delegated 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));

7 Operation of Delegations

- 4. Any delegation to incur expenditure must be exercised within the limits of the relevant budget or other approved source of funds.
