Dr David Opar receives the 2016 Academic Staff Award from Executive Dean Professor Michelle Campbell.
The Faculty of Health Sciences commits to the values of excellence, dignity and engagement, as articulated in the Faculty’s Positioning Statement and Values.
The Positioning Statement and Values supports the Faculty by enhancing engagement, increasing levels of workforce participation, student experience and encouraging positive workplace behaviours
When the Positioning Statement and Values were launched in 2015, the Faculty of Health Sciences also introduced a new staff award scheme to reward those staff who incorporate the positioning values in their day-to-day work.
Four Awards are available each year in the following categories:
- Academic staff
- Professional staff
- Casual/sessional staff
- FHS team (>3 staff)
These awards acknowledge staff that demonstrate the values of:
