Flexible Work and Leave Options

These pages describe the main types of flexible work and leave options available to staff at The University of Western Australia. If you are at a particular life balance stage (e.g. becoming a parent, planning to study, preparing to retire, or have cultural or community commitments), the Life Balance Categories may be useful. For a complete listing of the University’s flexible work and leave entitlements, with links to policy and Collective Agreements, see the Alphabetical Listing.

Flexible Hours topics include hours of work, flexitime, annualised hours and compressed week.

Flexible Work looks at home-based work, working from home, part-time work and job-sharing.

Flexible Leave covers the Purchased Leave and Deferred Salary Schemes, and other leave entitlements such as Carer’s Leave and Ceremonial/Cultural Leave.
