In July 2008, The University of Melbourne prepared a submission to the Review of Australian Higher Education (The Bradley Review)
In 2005 the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Glyn Davis, led an extensive consultation process aimed at assessing the University's progress towards the Melbourne Agenda goals.
Out of this process a new strategy direction arose, and in early 2006 this was developed into Growing Esteem: The University of Melbourne Strategic Plan 2006 (PDF 488 kb).
Further documents, produced as part of the University's accountability framework and annual cycle of reviewing, auditing and reporting, can be found below.
