Careers FAQ

• a qualification in a relevant discipline at least one Australian Qualifications Framework level higher than is awarded for the course of study, or equivalent relevant academic or professional or practice-based experience and expertise. 

The Institution may recognise equivalent experience in place of an AQF+1 qualification only if the educational needs of the particular course cannot be addressed in other ways in accordance with the Equivalence in Academic Staff Qualifications and Experience Policy and Assessing Equivalence Procedures.  

The Institution may consider a candidate’s experience if they can demonstrate achievements equivalent or superior to the required qualification. Equivalent experience must be current and directly relevant to the course of study and supporting evidence must be provided as per the requirements. 

Once a preferred candidate has been determined, the Institution conducts minimum two reference checks (usually with current / recent supervisors) at an agreed stage prior to formal offer with the preferred candidate/s and retain this information on file.  

Supporting documentation is verified, in particular, overseas qualifications that are relevant for the designated role should be assessed for their equivalence to Australian qualifications with reference to the Department of Education’s Qualifications Recognition Policy, or the National Academic Recognition Information Centres database. Once satisfactory references have been obtained, the hiring manager provides documentation to support the offer. 

An offer of employment is made, both verbally and in writing. A contract of employment is signed by both parties, including a probation period.
