Welcome to University Colleges Australia

The University Colleges Australia (UCA) is the representative professional body for Heads and Deputies of residential colleges and halls throughout Australia.

Through conferences & forums, academic resources, member grants and site visits, UCA delivers services which benefit members’ professional development and in turn helps to create a better collegiate experience for our residential students. The Executive Committee actively works with our members to help resolve issues and foster an environment for professional growth and support.

In response to, and considering both the entirety of the Australian Human Rights Commission’s report Change the Course together with the UNSW HRC’s report On Safe Ground, UCA has established the Respectful Relations, Response and Resources Advisory Group to support its members to better respond to the risk of sexual harassment and sexual assault and achieve stronger collegiate communities, characterized by respectful relationships.
