Chancellors

The Chancellor of the Australian National University serves as the nominal head of the university. The basic outline of the position is detailed in the Australian National University Act 1991, which governs the operation of the university. As with most other university chancellors, the role is now largely ceremonial, though still quite prestigious.

The role is currently vacant, due to the appointment of Kim Beazley as Australian Ambassador to the United States.

Vice Chancellors

The Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University serves as the chief executive officer of the university, and oversees most of the university's day-to-day operations, with the Chancellor serving in a largely ceremonial role. It was for many years a position generally only held by prominent academics, but this has changed in recent years, as universities have tended to look for specialist administrators.
