Overview of CAUDIT

Welcome

CAUDIT (The Council of Australian University Directors of Information Technology) is an industry wide group of the IT Directors/CIOs of all universities in Australia and New Zealand together with universities in PNG and the South Pacific and major Commonwealth Research Organisations such as CSIRO, AIMS and ARCS.

With 58 members who contribute strategic IT leadership to their universities or research organisations, CAUDIT is able to speak authoritatively to Government, Industry and University bodies on all aspects of IT and this is illustrated by the wide range of Government committees on which CAUDIT is represented and by the variety of company directorships held by various CAUDIT members.

CAUDIT also negotiates collective procurement agreements, provides professional development, undertakes projects and fosters collaboration through the sharing of ideas, experiences and best practice amongst its members.

This website supports these collaborative efforts by acting as both a knowledge base and a communications portal.

Vision

CAUDIT's Vision is that leaders in Australian universities, Australian Government Department and industry recognise both CAUDIT and its members as an important source of strategic advice on the use of Information Technology in Higher Education.

Mission

CAUDIT's Mission is to enhance its members' ability as key strategic advisers on the use of Information Technology in Higher Education. It will achieve this through a variety of relevant strategies:

  • developing and maintaining relationships with key members of the Higher Education sector.
  • assisting members to develop professional skills.
  • providing mutual support mechanisms to members.
  • encouraging development and application of standards, benchmarking, best practice and policies.
  • sharing expertise among members and colleagues.
  • being a major focus for relationships with the IT industry.
