ECU Act
The governance of the University takes place within a specific statutory framework. At the highest level of that framework is the Edith Cowan University Act 1984 (WA) ('the ECU Act'), as amended, which establishes the University as a body corporate, consisting of the Council, the members of staff and the enrolled students (s.5).
The Edith Cowan University Act 1984 is accessible via the State Law Publishers web site.
