Change Proposals and Consultation
ANU is committed to keeping our community informed and engaged by providing timely, clear and accessible information to help prepare for and participate in change.
This page provides the timeline for and release of formal change proposals from June 2025, along with a summary of anticipated organisational change activity. These change proposals have been formed under the Renew ANU Change Principles Implementation Plan.
The table below contains formal Change Proposals for each business area, as they are published, with a link to provide feedback and a recording of each Change Proposal Townhall. This page will be updated regularly to reflect key milestones, decisions and the release of formal change proposals as planning continues.
We recognise that change can be challenging and support is available.
Staff and their immediate families can access free support and counselling through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which can be reached on 1800 808 374. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Additional information is available on the ANU Health and Wellbeing website.
