The University of Canberra is governed by its Council which is established by the University of Canberra Act 1989 (ACT). The powers of the Council are established in section 10 of the Act.

The council is committed to good governance and creates the basis for management excellence by developing the University's mission statement, setting the strategic direction and approving the annual budget. It is responsible for ensuring the systems and processes to direct and control the University's operations are in place and working effectively. In addition, the Council fosters a culture that allows the University to deliver outcomes that are in line with its mission and strategic goals to all stakeholders.

The council is chaired by the Chancellor and advised by its committees, including the Audit and Risk Management Committee, Finance Committee, Investment Committee, Legislation Committee, Nominations and Senior Appointments Committee, and Planning and Development Committee. 

The Academic Board is responsible under the Council for all academic matters relating to the University; and may advise the Council on any matter relating to education, learning, research or the academic work of the University.
