The management of quality processes and outcomes at Griffith is underpinned by an overall Quality Assurance Policy, based on a model of Plan-implement-review-improve. Griffith uses the PIRI cycle to coordinate its continuous improvement efforts.

Griffith applies quality assurance principles in all our activities in order to achieve excellent outcomes.

Griffith’s culture of innovation and responsiveness, review and improvement, is future-focused and based on appropriate benchmarking and data analysis.

Quality assurance principles inform all activities at the University in order to maintain excellent standards as a higher education provider. Quality assurance:

  • aligns with Griffith’s vision and values.
  • ensures University activities comply with the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021, the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018, and other relevant regulatory frameworks.
  • is an inherent, visible, and enhancement-based part of the delivery of all learning, teaching and research activities.
    is coherent and streamlined.
  • is evidence-based and draws on multiple sources of data, including student feedback, industry feedback and external data to compare Griffith’s performance to other institutions.
  • is supported by an enabling culture which engages staff and students and supports continuous improvement

At a national level, Griffith reports to the Tertiary Education Quality Standards Agency (TEQSA) which regulates and assures the quality of Australia's large and diverse higher education sector. Griffith University was successfully re-registered with TEQSA in 2015.
