The Council of Australasian University Directors of Information Technology (CAUDIT) is an incorporated entity with membership drawn from all higher education and research institutions in Australia and New Zealand, plus those in the South Pacific, Fiji and Papua New Guinea, as well as six major research organisations, UTS:Insearch and The College of Law. Members are represented by the most senior IT person in their organisation – generally their Chief Information Officer, Chief Digital Officer or Director, IT.

CAUDIT’s purpose is to support each other in leading the application of digital capabilities to transform education and research.

Three key values provide the focus for CAUDIT’s activities: connecting, enabling and challenging our members. Sharing and collaboration in a trusted environment is a fundamental benefit of CAUDIT membership.

CAUDIT provides networking opportunities, negotiates collective procurement agreements, provides professional development, undertakes benchmarking and fosters collaboration through the sharing of thought leadership, experiences and best practice among its members.

CAUDIT’s website supports these collaborative efforts by acting as both a knowledge base and a communications portal.

QUDIT brings together 14 members from various university and research institutions across Queensland and the Northern Territory that have a strategic and operational responsibility for ICT. Our membership includes all universities with a footprint in the State along with three research institutes with whom many of our universities work closely together.

Through dynamic regional IT collaboration, QUDIT cultivates innovation and facilitates the exchange of ideas, enabling members to accelerate digital transformation and deliver on their organisations’ distinct missions with greater efficiency and impact. It achieves this through offering professional development, conferences, collaborative projects and communities of practice to its members.
