Academic staff who have completed two or more years on probation are invited to apply for review by the Probation Committee in the second round for 1998. Academic staff whose probation runs out before the first round of review in March 1999 will need to submit their applications in this round.
Policy documents and forms are available from your Head of School and in Chapter 10 of the Personnel Management Handbook. For policy documents, see http://www.pers.mq.edu.au/policy/index.html and for forms, refer to http://www.pers.mq.edu.au/Forms/index.html
Applications must be made on the Application for Review of Probation (form 10.01a) with the Formal Report for Permanency Committee attached (form 10.01b) along with all Annual Probation Report forms.
Applicants will need to refer to Probation for Academic Staff in Tenurable Positions (Section 10.01), or Probation for Academic Staff in Convertible Positions (Section 10.02) policies for further details.
Applicants who wish to provide SETS will need to arrange them to be forwarded from CPD to the Committee. Applicants undertaking higher degrees should organise a progress report from their supervisor to be sent to the Committee.
All staff are encouraged to seek assistance and counselling from their supervisor and/or Head of School regarding the format and timing of their applications. Heads of Schools have lists of their staff who are currently on probation.
Eight copies of the entire application should be provided to the Personnel Office by the closing date on Monday, 31 August 1998. Late applications will not be accepted.
Enquiries should be directed to Anne Micallef (ext. 9785) or Sue Verdich (ext. 9701) in the Personnel Office.
