Abstract	The need for establishing a teaching and learning services unit at the University of New England (UNE) in Australia, and information on tertiary education units in nine Australian universities are examined. Among the reasons for establishing a services unit at UNE are the following: the idea of a service center has found acceptance within the academic community; the need for staff and course development has been well recognized; requests have been received by the Teaching, Learning and Assessment Committee for assistance in developing services and programs; there is a need for making more effective use of less abundant resources for teaching purposes; and there is a need to deal with growing competition for students. Considerations in creating the position of Director of Educational Services and proposed duties and functions of a Director are outlined. Academic staff development efforts in North America are briefly noted, and results of visiting teaching or research units of the following nine Australian universities are examined: University of Melbourne, Monash University, University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, The Australian National University, University of Queensland, Griffith University, University of Adelaide, and Flinders University. For each unit, information is provided on origins, functions, organization, staffing, equipment, funding, research, and problems encountered. Guidelines for developing tertiary education units are appended. (SW)
