Information Services Policy Library
The Information Services Policy Library is the authoritative repository for all policies approved by the Vice-Principal (Information) acting in consultation with IS Executive. These policies represent the IS position to the University regarding key services and operations. They are intended to further the organisational objectives and legislative compliance of the University.
All policies included in the Library are current, authoritative, subject to regular review and are open to public access. In the interests of consistency and ease of use, new policies will be created using a standard form of presentation based upon a common template.
The development of the IS Policy Library is based upon the principles embedded in the IS Information Management Principles and the IT Management Principles.
What is a Policy?
A policy is a broad statement of principle that mandates actions or constrains actions to attain required organisational outcomes and/or meet legislative or regulatory requirements. It acts as a statement of intent for the University and forms the basis of decision making.
The IS Policy Library ensures that IS:
- complies with regulatory or legislative requirements;
- provides consistent services to the University;
- minimises risk;
- optimises operational efficiency and accountability.
