Available to Advance HE Members only.
The Advance HE Australasia PVC Educational Excellence Network has been established to provide substantial benefits to Pro Vice-Chancellors or an equivalent senior leader responsible for learning and teaching, education, and the student experience.
This invitation-only network offers a valuable platform for the exchange of innovative strategies and best practices, with the aim of enhancing educational quality across institutions in Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific.
Aims of the network
The network is designed as a supportive, high-trust space for senior academic leaders across Australasia to:
- Share and learn from innovative leadership practices
- Engage with Advance HE’s global expertise from a regional perspective
- Explore the challenges and opportunities of leading through influence, rather than hierarchy
The last PVC Network Meeting was held on Tuesday, 10 February 2026.
My vision for the Advance HE PVC Network is to provide a supportive connected environment which leverages the global expertise of Advance HE while at the same time deeply engaging with Australasian higher education concerns and needs.

My vision for the Advance HE PVC Network is to create a collaborative, future-focused community of executive leaders who navigate complexity with purpose, influence change through evidence and shared wisdom, and elevate the strategic impact of learning and teaching across our institutions.
