The basic outline of the position is detailed in the Australian National University Act 1991, which governs the operation of the university.

Vice Chancellors

The Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University serves as the chief executive officer of the university, and oversees most of the university's day-to-day operations, with the Chancellor serving in a largely ceremonial role. It was for many years a position generally only held by prominent academics, but this has changed in recent years, as universities have tended to look for specialist administrators.
