The University supports and encourages schemes which provide for exchange between its employees and employees of other appropriate organisations. The aim of the Employee Exchange Programme is to enhance an employee's career and professional development in relation to innovative ideas and methods of their particular discipline, profession or vocation by:
- Enabling employees to work in a comparable Australian or overseas University on exchange with an employee from the University;
- Enabling employees to arrange an exchange with employees in an industrial, commercial or government position that is directly relevant to the role of the employee in the University.
In addition, the Employee Exchange Programme may also be utilised to recognise and reward exceptional work performance by an employee through providing them with the opportunity to acquire expanded knowledge, skills and abilities.
An exchange may be arranged within
Australia or overseas. The period of absence from the University on exchange will be subject to negotiation. While an employee is on exchange, the University will be responsible for the employee's salary but not for the salary or associated costs of the employee coming to the University on exchange. The University may consider requests for financial assistance as prescribed for ADOSP or PDL for living and travel allowances.
All applications for exchange must be forwarded to the Category 2 Delegate or above for approval or otherwise via the Category 4 Delegate or above and include the following details:
- proposed arrangements in detail;
- basic information concerning the exchangee: name, qualifications, position in other organisation, areas of expertise;
- how staff member's workload will be handled during the exchange;
- complete details of all financial arrangements and work responsibilities for both exchangees;
- benefits expected to accrue to the exchangees and the University from the exchange.
