We're governed by the [University of Queensland Act 1998](https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-1998-005).
Our policies and procedures ensure effective and efficient governance and management.
Our official policies are available through the [Policy and Procedure Library (PPL)](https://policies.uq.edu.au/), along with supporting procedures, guidelines and forms.
Our [Senate Rules](https://governance-risk.uq.edu.au/governance-and-policy/policies-and-procedures#3) provide an administrative framework in addition to our policies.
