Initiatives

A high-performing institution

We are an institution dedicated to high performance at all levels of the organisation. Working with our academic and professional staff, we will review and reshape the Academic Performance Expectations Framework (PEF), Performance Expectations for professional staff, and our workload models to reflect our values and strategic priorities. We will reward collaborative behaviour and build a positive engagement and impact mindset.

We will establish a holistic change framework and program targeted at leaders, change champions and staff to build in-house capability supporting change in a timely and adaptable way.

Building leadership and capability

Recognising the talent within our institution, we will create opportunities for our staff to be our students, and our students to be our staff. Our staff will be offered access to our University's courses, enabling them not only to benefit from professional development but also gain first-hand insight into the student experience. We will prioritise engagement with high-performing students, bringing them into our organisation as the next generation of academic and professional talent.

Outstanding talent

We will ensure our Employee Value and Student Experience propositions are aligned with best practice to attract, retain and nurture exceptional staff and students.

A values-based culture

We will build a culture grounded in our values of excellence, equity, engagement and sustainability, bringing a range of perspectives, disciplines and expertise to our community. Fostering leadership practices that maximise equity, diversity and inclusion, cultivating a collaborative mindset and celebrating achievements will be essential to shaping our values-based culture.

Healthy and safe workplace culture

We will adopt a beyond-zero approach to our safety management to ensure that our University is a place where our staff and students feel safe, valued and empowered.

We will build a shared mentality of care and personal commitment by providing our people with the opportunity to enhance their physical and psychological wellbeing at work.
