"Padma has been a champion for women and their children for many years and has worked tirelessly to make significant and long-lasting change.
"She has helped to shape Australia's national efforts to end violence against women and their children, and raise public awareness and conversations on how we can strive to achieve this goal.
"Padma is a valued member of the ANU Council and the Council's Student Safety and Wellbeing Committee, and as an ANU alumna, she brings a deep understanding and perspective to her roles.
"I am sure the ANU Council and the entire ANU community join me in congratulating Padma on her appointment.
"We have no doubt she will continue to be a force for positive change for all women and children in her new role."
Ms Raman will continue her role on the ANU Council.
