Management and administration

The management and administration of the faculty provides leadership and oversight of strategic initiatives as well as support for the teaching and research programs of the faculty. This relies on effective partnerships between academic and general staff, led by the dean, the faculty general manager, heads of schools or departments and their school or department managers. A schematic of the faculty level structure is shown below.

The faculty consists of seven schools: Medicine, Dental Science, Physiotherapy, Behavioural Science, Nursing, Rural Health and Population Health (with 21 departments within the School of Medicine).

The faculty's operational plan for 2005 sets out the goals and objectives for the faculty in the current year. View the operational plan. The operational plan supports the university's 'Melbourne Agenda', a 15-20 year strategy designed to transform the University of Melbourne into one of the finest universities in the world.

The Office of the Dean has overall faculty responsibility for student administration, corporate governance, research development, financial management, faculty communications and events, compliance and risk management, academic policy development and administration of the School of Medicine and its alumni.
