The ACU Strategic Plan 2015-2020 is enabled through a series of strategies and frameworks, including the Workforce Framework, which guide the design and implementation of workplace initiatives and people management practices across the University to achieve a sustainable workforce.

A sustainable workforce that is able to respond to and meet ACU’s changing needs and deliver high quality teaching, learning and professional services is realised through:

Workplace Culture

• ACU is committed to providing a welcoming, safe and healthy workplace for all.
• Our Mission, Values and Strategic Plan inform all that we do and we make every effort to ensure they are well understood by all our staff.
• Our Code of Conduct for all Staff supports a workplace culture that is inclusive, safe and fair.
