The audit of CQU by the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) reached its final week (October 17-21) with visits to both the Mackay and Rockhampton campuses.

The AUQA audit commenced on September 19 at the Fiji International Campus, and was followed by audit visits to the CQU sites in Sydney, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Melbourne.

Participation from staff, students and external representatives has been excellent, and groups have reported feeling that interviews were relaxed.

During the audit visit to Mackay and Rockhampton campuses, the full audit panel of Professor Jan Thomas, Mr Graeme Dennehy, Mr Martin Carroll, Ms Felicity McGregor and Professor Muhammad Kamil Tadjudin conducted almost 40 interviews, involving well over 200 students, staff and external partners/community members.
