Central Operations Services (COS)

On 12 December 2019 the University announced on the Staff News that Campus Infrastructure and Services would become University Infrastructure (UI) and Central Operations Services (COS) from 1 January 2020. The two new Professional Service Units (PSUs) were being created to better support the research and teaching needs of the University.

UI would lead and develop a client-focused Property and Infrastructure Planning and Delivery Unit to support University and faculty strategies.  This included planning and design, property development, infrastructure delivery, space and sustainability.

COS would be positioned to better enable the ongoing use of the University's infrastructure, through a focus on the strategic whole-of-life asset management, security, safety, as well as enhanced delivery of essential operational services to staff, academics and students in a manner which delivered to  the University's sustainability objectives. COS was also to be responsible for managing the new Shared Service Centre (SSC).
