The ACU Capability Development Framework (CDF) describes the essential competencies that are needed in all ACU staff to achieve our strategy and support our mission.
Supporting our staff to grow and develop is fundamental to making a positive, lasting, and measurable difference to our people and the unique employee experience we offer at ACU, one of the largest English-speaking Catholic universities in the world. The Capability Development Framework (CDF) sets out ACU's development pathway for staff by describing the essential competencies needed to achieve our strategy and support our distinctive Mission. A commitment to continuous learning and improvement-through the combined efforts of many-is what drives our collective success. The CDF enables a whole-of-organisation approach to developing and strengthening capability. It plays a critical role in shaping effective job design and driving job performance, by supporting conversations that clarify role expectations, enhance capability in current roles, and identify development opportunities for future career progression.
