37.1 The scope of academic work includes teaching, research, administration and service to the University and broader community. This requires flexibility in work patterns to match teaching and research requirements and individual interests.
37.2 Academic workload models will be developed by a school through collaborative discussions involving all of its academic staff and will be determined prior to the commencement of each academic year.
37.3 School academic workload models will be made available to all academic staff in a school and be in such a form that enables an academic employee to compare their workload.
37.4 A school’s academic workload model may include the following activities:
37.4.1 teaching (including student contact and teaching administration responsibilities)
37.4.2 International teaching load (unless additional loadings are received)
37.4.3 Postgraduate supervision
37.4.4 Research outputs
37.4.5 Service within the University; and
37.4.6 Service within the broader Community
37.5 To assist Early Career academics to establish a research track record these employees will, as far as possible, not have administrative roles.
37.6 The University recognises that the ratio of Students (EFTSU) to non casual staff (non casual FTE) with teaching duties is a measure of the demand on staff time. The University recognises that if this is allowed to increase unreasonably it can compromise the quality of the University’s teaching and research programs. The University will use its best endeavours to ensure reasonable workload.
