Academic Working Arrangements and Academic Workload Allocation Policy

The Academic Workload Allocation Policy and Academic Workload Allocation Procedure implement the relevant working arrangements for academic staff provisions of the ACU Staff Enterprise Agreement and outlines the university's expectations of academic work in the context of the University's Academic Career Pathways (ACP). The policy supports the principles of equity, transparency and flexibility to ensure academic workloads are managed in the most effective way, benefitting both staff and the university.

Further detail relating to academic working arrangements and workload, is available with the Academic Workload Allocation SharePoint site.

Progress Plan for academic staff

Supporting processes, such as the Progress Plan, have been implemented to enable ongoing conversations regarding an individual's participation and contribution in the context of their Academic Workload career pathway and arrangements, and to ensure continuous improvement.

For further information, please refer to the Progress Plan for Academic Staff Policy.
