The Quality System Development Group (QSDG) was established formally in early 2003 within the Division of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education and Quality Improvement), Professor Adrian Lee, although it had been operating in an informal basis during part of 2002. (Quality System Development Group Biennial Report on Achievements and Activities 2004 - 2005: iii V1093) From 2003 the Division was granted senior leadership responsibility for quality improvement at UNSW and QSDG was specifically established to coordinate quality improvement. (UNSW Annual Report 2003: 32) The Director of QSDG was Patrick Boyle. (Quality System Development Group Biennial Report on Achievements and Activities 2004 - 2005: vii V1093) Professor Lee retired in February 2006 and Professor Richard Henry took up the position as Acting Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education and Quality Improvement). In the restructure of the university as announced by the new vice-chancellor, Professor Fred Hilmer, in June 2006 the division was abolished (Email to UNSW staff re Organisational Structure, 21 June 2006) and QSDG was subsequently not incorporated in the new organisational structure. (Email to UNSW staff re New Organisational Structure, 29 September 2006; https://my.unsw.edu.au/unsw/VCAC_Exec_Mgt_Structure27sep06.pdf) The unit continued with existing work but finished up in December 2006.

The creation of the Centre for Business Information Technology (CBIT) within the Faculty of Commerce and Economics was approved at the 7 September 1988 meeting of the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee. The Centre does not, however, appear to have become active until 1990, when Mr Rodger Jamieson became its director. Around the same time the name of the Centre appears to have been changed to the Information Technology Research Centre and its main aim given as to encourage and stimulate research in the fields of information technology primarily in the development of information systems (file 881230). On 24 October 1997 the Vice-Chancellor approved a recommendation that the Centre was disestablished effective from 1 October 1997 (file 860992).

On 7 August 1990 the Academic Board recommended the creation of the Centre for Hospital Management and Information Systems Research within the Faculty of Professional Studies (resolution 90/50). The Centre was officially launched by the Vice-Chancellor on 20 May 1991 and the founding director was Professor George Palmer (file 910810). On 2 December 1996 Council resolved to disestablish the Faculty of Professional Studies from 1 January 1997 (resolution CL96/88/3). Consequently the Centre was transferred to the Faculty of Medicine from this date. On 7 August 2001 the Academic Board recommended a change in the name of the centre to the Centre for Clinical Governance Research in Health (resolution AB01/51). This was approved by the Acting Vice-Chancellor on 12 October 2001 (file 2002/1061). In 2008 the director of the Centre was Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite. From 3 November 2014 the Centre transferred to Macquarie University under the new name Centre for Healthcare Resilience and Implementation Science (http://aihi.mq.edu.au/news/aihi-joins-macquarie-university - Accessed 29 July 2015).

The establishment of the Centre for Remote Sensing was endorsed at the 12 August 1981 meeting of the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee. The main aim of the Centre was to co-ordinate and develop the teaching and research in the multi-disciplinary area of remote sensing. The Centre was jointly administered by the faculties of Applied Science and Engineering and Dr J. A. Richards was appointed as the Centre's first Director. On 5 May 1992 the Academic Board endorsed the renaming of the Centre as the Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems. This was approved by the Vice-Chancellor on 22 June 1992 (file 930751-01). At the 2 December 1996 meeting of Council the Faculty of Applied Science was disestablished effective 1 July 1997 (resolution CL96/88/4). As a result, from this date the Centre became a joint centre of the faculties of Engineering and Science and Technology. On 18 June, 2001 Council resolved to disestablish the Faculty of Science & Technology and create a new single model Faculty of Science effective from 1 July, 2001 (resolution CL001/49). Thus from this date the Centre became a joint centre of the faculties of Engineering and Science. On 21 April 2004 the Pro-Vice-Chancellor wrote to the director of the Centre indicating that the Centre would be disestablished as a UNSW Research Centre, but that the Centre [would] remain listed as a Centre under the 'Other Centres' category for a period of 12 months. Although there were plans for the Centre to become a teaching program centre in association with the School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, this does not seem to have eventuated and the Centre appears to have ceased operations by the end of the 12 month period (file 930751-02, http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.bees.unsw.edu.au/crsgis/crsgis.html).
