Reporting to the Deputy Vice President Faculty, the Director of Quality and Standards is responsible for leading and embedding quality assurance frameworks across Alphacrucis’ multi-campus and third-party delivery environment. The role oversees quality systems aligned to the Higher Education Standards Framework, VET Quality Framework and National Micro-credentials Framework, ensuring strong academic outcomes while supporting innovation and growth.

• Lead accreditation, registration, CRICOS and regulatory submissions
• Strengthen relationships with third-party partners and external stakeholders
• Contribute to academic governance through Academic Board involvement and committee leadership

Your work will protect the integrity of Alphacrucis’ awards, build confidence with regulators and partners, and directly support high-quality learning and positive student experiences.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• A personal commitment to the Christian faith
• A completed higher education qualification from an Australian university
• Demonstrated leadership in quality assurance, ideally within a dual-sector environment
• Strong knowledge of Australian HE and VET standards, ESOS and CRICOS requirements
• Experience leading accreditation, audits and regulatory reporting
