"For a new institution, it involves looking at everything from financial viability to physical resources to policies and processes, admissions and IT systems," she said.

She has previously acted as a HKCAAVQ reviewer for program accreditations and institutional reviews, and chaired audit panels for Hong Kong City University and Hong Kong Baptist University a few years ago.

In 2011, Professor Winchester won the Australian Higher Education Quality Award and has been both a chair and panel member for audits by the Australian Universities Quality Agency.
