When to use Protocol

When to involve the University's Protocol Offices

Every occasion is an opportunity to enhance the University's reputation and create a memorable engagement experience with guests. Macquarie University nurtures partnerships with many sectors, groups and individuals so it is essential that protocol is utilised to foster relationships between all parties and deliver expected event outcomes.

The Events and Protocol team (Domestic Protocol) is responsible for providing protocol support for the Vice-Chancellor and the University Executive Group when they are involved in a University event on campus, the wider Sydney area or interstate.

When inviting external stakeholders to University occasions please consider the guest categories in the table below and advise the relevant Protocol team. Involve these teams as early as possible so they have ample time to provide advice and support. These teams will also ensure that all relevant University areas are advised of the occasion and parties involved.
