With the pending retirement of its current Vice-Chancellor, Professor David Battersby AM, Federation University Australia is seeking to appoint a new Vice-Chancellor.

Federation University Australia is home to more than 23,000 domestic and international students, studying both in Australia and abroad. It has developed a reputation for being at the forefront of innovation in learning, teaching and student support combined with a strong focus on research. As Australia's only regional, multisector university, Federation University Australia offers secondary schooling, technical and further education and higher education.

Headquartered in Ballarat, one of Victoria's most progressive regional centres, the University has major campuses in Gippsland and the Wimmera and is committed to serving regional communities in Victoria while maintaining a broad national and international outlook. The University maintains close links to industry and business and hosts Australia's largest regional technology park.
