Professor Kylie Readman

Kylie has a particular focus on engagement, belonging, wellbeing, and partnerships with students. She is passionate about teaching excellence, learner engagement and student success. Kylie's expertise lies in creating the institutional conditions to build staff capacity to design and deliver engaging and innovative curriculum while ensuring students, especially those from backgrounds traditionally under-represented at university, have the very best chance of realising their aspirations.

Kylie is a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, which is a recognition of her sustained record of effective strategic leadership in academic practice. She joined UTS in November 2022 from Murdoch University where she held the position of Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Equity). In this role, she was the institutional leader for learning, teaching, support, and wellbeing, while also leading equity and diversity initiatives, supporting the leadership of Indigenous education and inclusive education initiatives. 

Kylie’s professional focus has always been on enhancing students’ learning. She began her career as a high school teacher and moved on to work as an academic and academic developer at Queensland University of Technology. Kylie moved to the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), where she was a program coordinator for graduate teacher education programs and the Director of the Centre for Support and Advancement of Learning and Teaching. In this role, she led the implementation of educational redesign to support multi-campus synchronous and asynchronous teaching, implemented reward and recognition programs for staff and was integral to the design of collaborative teaching spaces across the USC campuses.
