Leadership and Governance

Our experienced faculty team comprises leading academic experts and industry professionals who shape the direction, and practical and relevant learning outcomes, of all of Kaplan Professional’s courses. In addition to their academic leadership, the faculty team shares collective responsibility for ensuring ongoing compliance with both the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021 and the RTO Standards 2025. This includes contributing to robust governance processes, continuous quality improvement, and alignment of learning and teaching practices with regulatory requirements. Their work is guided by the principles and framework outlined in the Kaplan Professional Governance Policy.

The Kaplan Higher Education (KHE) Corporate Board provides strategic leadership and is the governing authority of KHE. The primary objective of the board is to oversee the affairs of KHE with good governance. Through relevant processes the Board ensures that the appropriate structures, policies, processes and planning are in place for KHE to effectively manage its activities and achieve its goals. The corporate board adopts the “guiding principles of good governance” published by the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Adoption of these principles helps to ensure that the board manages the affairs of KHE with proper oversight and accountability. The corporate board is comprised of members with the relevant skills, expertise, experience and background to provide good governance for Kaplan Higher Education.

Our senior leadership team is responsible for the strategic vision of Kaplan Professional, ensuring client and student-focused outcomes.
