On 6 July 1998 Council gave its approval for the Department of Safety Science to be changed into a School of Safety Science in the Faculty of Science & Technology (resolution CL98/51b). 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 - including the School of Safety Science (resolution CL001/49). On 7 February 2008 the name of the school was changed to the School of Risk & Safety Sciences (Academic Board resolution AB08/02). On 29 January 2010 the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and President of the Academic Board approved the disestablishment of the School of Risk and Safety Sciences according to the timetable provided. This appears to indicate the School's closure effective from 10 December 2010 (file 2002/2060). Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 06/07/1998-10/12/2010

At the 2 August 2011 Academic Board meeting it was recommended that the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and President of the Academic Board approve the establishment of the School of Risk and Actuarial Studies (replacing the Actuarial Studies Unit) in the Australian School of Business, effective 1 January 2012 (resolution AB11/46). This was approved on 9 August 2011 (file 2011/04228). The initial Head of School was Associate Professor John Evans. On 2 July 2014 the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee approved a change in name of the faculty to the UNSW Australia Business School, effective from 23 July 2014. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 01/01/2012-

On 4 March 1998 the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Commerce & Economics gave its approval for the introduction of a disciplinary stream in Actuarial Studies within the School of Economics (resolution CEE98/30) and so the Actuarial Studies Unit effectively came into being from this date. In January 1998 Professor Michael Sherris had been initially appointed a Visiting Professor with the faculty to develop the academic programs in the actuarial studies area (file 931102 19 June letter from Professor Roger Layton to Vice-Chancellor Professor John Niland), but soon afterwards he was appointed as a permanent chair and head of the Unit. At some time during 2002 the Actuarial Studies Unit appears to have moved from the School of Economics to the School of Accounting (2002 and 2003 Calendars). On 3 July 2006 Council proposed the amalgamation of the Faculty of Commerce and Economics and the Australian Graduate School of Management into the newly formed Faculty of Business and consequently Actuarial Studies became part of this faculty, seemingly as an independent unit (resolution CL06/68). The inaugural meeting of the faculty took place on 23 November 2006, but by 18 June 2007 the name of the faculty was changed to the Australian School of Business at UNSW (Council resolution CL07/33). At the 2 August 2011 Academic Board meeting it was recommended that the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and President of the Academic Board approve the establishment of the School of Risk and Actuarial Studies (replacing the Actuarial Studies Unit) in the Australian School of Business, effective 1 January 2012 (resolution AB11/46). This was approved on 9 August 2011 (file 2011/04228). The Unit therefore ceased to exist from this time. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - c. 04/03/1998-31/12/2011

The Faculty of Science & Technology was created by Council on 2nd December, 1996 effective from 1st July 1997 (resolution CL96/88/4a). The inaugural meeting of the Faculty was on 8th July, 1997 with Associate Professor A. H. Dooley as the Presiding Member. At this time, under Dean Colin Sutherland, the Faculty contained six schools, four departments, three Centres, the Universities' Surface Analysis Facility and the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit. The Faculty of Science & Technology was disestablished by Council on 18th June, 2001 effective from July 2001 (resolution CL001/49). The final meeting of the Faculty Board was held on 26th April, 2001.

On 10 December 1990 Council approved the creation of an independent department of Safety Science in the Faculty of Applied Science, effective from 1 January 1991. The department was based on the previous Centre for Safety Science, which was disestablished at the same time (resolution CL90/113). The first head of department was Professor Jean Cross. At the 2 December, 1996 meeting of Council the Faculty of Applied Science was disestablished effective 1 July, 1997 (resolution CL96/88/4). At the 3 February 1997 meeting of Council it was determined the Department of Safety Science would move to the newly created Faculty of Science & Technology from 1 July 1997 (resolution CL97/5a). On 6 July 1998 Council gave its approval for the department to be changed into a School of Safety Science (resolution CL98/51b). Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 01/01/1991-06/07/1998
