Work-Life Balance
At the University we know that not everyone's priorities and circumstances are the same.

The following are a list of some of the programs available to staff:
- Part-time employment
- Job Share
- 48/52 week year / annualised salary
- Flexi-time
- Contract Employment
- Planned Career Breaks
Maternity, Partner and Adoption Leave
The University is committed to creating and maintaining a workplace environment conducive to accommodating the needs of staff with family responsibilities. In recognition of this commitment the University has generous paid and unpaid parental leave provisions, including a return to work bonus equivalent to an additional 12 weeks salary for those returning from maternity leave.
Family Leave
In certain circumstances additional paid leave is available to staff to support family or household members during illness or emergency.
