The UTS Act is the university's founding instrument, supported by the UTS By-law.

UTS Act

The University of Technology Sydney Act 1989 (NSW) is UTS’s founding instrument. It outlines the university's objectives and functions as well as constitutional matters such as the membership and role of Council. The Act allows for the making of by-laws and rules.

UTS By-law

The object of the University of Technology Sydney By-law 2005 (NSW) is to provide for certain matters under the University of Technology Sydney Act 1989, including the term of office of the Chancellor, elections to Council and rules that may be made.

Acknowledgement of Country

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people, upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
