Resources for Sessional Staff

We value your work, and we want your experience with us to be rewarding and fulfilling. To help you acclimatise to the University, and better understand your role and responsibilities within it, we provide new staff with access to a range of induction information and activities, professional development opportunities and support services.

Your supervisor will be the best first point of contact for you on most matters, but you will find that there are many other sources of advice and support in your School, in your Division, at your campus, and in the wider University.

Induction

The Quick Guide for Sessional Academic Staff has been developed to provide you with key information specific to your role as a sessional academic.

A range of other quick guides are available to all staff and provide information on topics such as research, ethics and equity and other key facets of your employment.
