Asset Management

Welcome to the Asset Management site for the Faculty of Education, Health & Science. The faculty has one of the largest asset bases in the university. Equipment in excess of $10m is procured and managed by the Faculty Assets Committee. The equipment ranges from items such as modems and glassware, to major agricultural equipment and scanning electron microscopes.

An important aspect in managing these resources is the planned preventative maintenance of equipment. Highly specialised equipment such as mass spectrometers and electron microscopes, require service engineers to travel from southern states. Arrangements are made to synchronise service visits with other local institutions, to minimise travel costs for all.

Annual maintenance costs alone exceed $200K so a method of obtaining regular funds is required. Monies are sourced from Areas of Strength, Schools, and Centres.

For Faculty School's, Centre's, who wish to purchase equipment in excess of $10,000, it is requested that in the first instance, staff put in a request for funding to one of the appropriate bodies, such as Higher Education Equipment Grants or VTE Equipment Grants. Links to these sites can be found here.

The Asset Management Committee is accountable to the Faculty Executive, and plays an important role within the Faculty.
