Our School provides the ideal environment for staff to grow and prosper. We value diversity and inclusion and have specific initiatives designed to support staff to flourish in their chosen career trajectory. Our broader faculty values of collaboration and teamwork, compassion, respect, integrity, and accountability complement our School based initiatives.

The University is recognised as an employer of choice for women and is one of 40 organisations to participate in the Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) pilot program of the Athena SWAN in Australia.

We were also recently awarded a bronze award on the Australian Workplace Equity Index (AWEI) with significant contributions to achieve this coming from our Pride in Action network initiatives.

Staff safety and wellbeing are our top priority and benefits can also be tailored to best suit your needs and circumstances.
