The Board of Graduate Research has a mandate to ensure that research education and training maintains a high profile internally, nationally and internationally and that high standards of supervision are maintained.

- comply with all relevant University policies, rules codes of conduct relating to research and research supervision;
- be informed about quality supervision practices and institutional policies
- inform the Head of School or Graduate Research Coordinator on a regular basis about the progress of each candidate and participate in the annual review;
- take and maintain records of meetings with candidates; and
- be prepared to discuss their performance as a supervisor with their manager at performance management meetings.
