Communications & External Liaison Office

The Communications and External Liaison Office (CELO) is the University’s central point for media, parliamentary engagement, public lectures and outreach, VIP visits and protocol. We also produce the magazine ANU Reporter, internal newsletter On Campus and manage the ANU News website. We are part of the Office of the Vice-Chancellor.

Journalists
We help journalists find ANU experts and stories, through services like our Experts List and our media releases. To get our media releases by email, sign up at our online form.

Staff and students
We help ANU staff and students engage with the media by assisting with media releases, events and training. We also assist staff with public lectures and events. ANU staff interested in being available to the media should request inclusion in the Experts List.

Publications
We tell ANU stories ourselves, in publications like the University magazine ANU Reporter and the e-newsletter On Campus.

Parliaments and VIP visits
We help ANU staff engage with parliamentarians and parliamentarians engage with ANU. We manage visits to ANU for international dignitaries, senior public servants, Chancellors, Vice-Chancellors and significant public, and offer advice on protocol issues relating to VIP visits and interactions.

Community
We manage the public lectures and events that are an essential part of ANU community outreach and provide the ACT and regional community with access to some of the world’s top academics, scholars, public figures and theorists.
