Operational areas

Professional service through collaboration

The COO operational areas provide professional services to support UQ's core functions – from coordinating operational plans and policy to maintaining campus facilities and more.

Individually, each area seeks to deliver quality services that meet the needs of clients and stakeholders. Together the areas collaborate to ensure UQ remains a leader in teaching and research.
