TEQSA’s new Higher Education Integrity Unit is continuing to take shape, with the appointment of Dr Helen Gniel as the unit’s new director. 

Dr Gniel brings a wealth of experience to the role following a 20 year career in Australia's higher education sector as a scientist, academic, and quality assurance professional. 

Since 2018, Dr Gniel has served as the Senior Advisor, Quality and Standards at Monash University. Prior to her appointment at Monash, Dr Gniel worked as a Senior Assessment Manager at TEQSA and an academic at the Australian National University.

Dr Gniel said she was looking forward to continuing her work with Australia's independent quality assurance agency for higher education. 

"TEQSA has an important and valued role in Australia's higher education sector, and I am looking forward to working collaboratively with providers and across government to ensure the integrity of Australia's world-class higher education sector," she said.

Dr Gniel will commence at TEQSA in January 2021.
