At ACU, the Induction Program is a significant first step in becoming acquainted with the University and in particular, your campus, helping you to settle into your new role. Induction is crucial to your employment and provides you with information on how to perform your job effectively, enjoyably and safely. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about your workplace and where to go to for information.
Your induction program starts with ACU by exploring the Welcome to ACU booklet.
This resource provides you with essential information to support you to successfully navigate ACU as a new team member. The booklet includes an introduction to ACU, including Our History, Mission, Identity, Values and key information about the organisation.
Essentials involves the completion of online learning modules designed to provide an introduction to the ACU work environment. Each module provides overview of the expectations, policies and processes that have been put in place to ensure a safe, compliant and positive work environment.
There are four compulsory modules to complete:
1. Welcome to ACU
This module provides general new starter information and is recommended to be completed first.
2. Work Health & Safety

3. Living the Code, everyday
It's important we all understand what's expected of us in the workplace. It's what we do that defines who we are. In this module you will explore the expected behaviour standards within our Code of Conduct and your role in maintaining a positive and safe work environment.
