CAULLT Membership Information
CAULLT is the peak body for the academics who lead learning and teaching at universities across Australia and New Zealand. Our members are Deputy Vice-Chancellors and Pro Vice-Chancellors (Education), Deans, Directors of academic development and the colleagues who work alongside them — people whose work shapes how teaching is supported, evaluated and developed at their institutions.
Membership is institutional and open to Australasian universities. Other organisations interested in the advancement of learning and teaching in higher education may be eligible for Affiliate Membership. Further details about membership can be found in the CAULLT Constitution. Queries about membership can be directed to the CAULLT Secretariat via the Contact Us page on this website.
Full membership
Each university member institution is represented by up to three institutional nominees. The CAULLT nominees are chosen by the member institution and would usually have responsibility for academic development, strategic and / or operational leadership of teaching and learning with the institution.
To become a full member of CAULLT, please complete the membership application form and send it to the CAULLT Secretariat. You will be notified of the outcome of your application once the Executive Committee has considered it, typically within one month of receipt of your application. If your application is successful, an invoice for payment of membership fees will be sent to you in due course.
The full membership fee for 2026 is $2,500.
