Lodging a complaint, grievance, misconduct or safety incident

Professional development

All ECU staff are required to complete EO Online - Professional Development. EO Online is an Equal Opportunity Professional Development program designed for Australian Universities. Module 1 should be completed by all staff and Module 2 is also required to be complete by those staff who have managerial or supervisory responsibilities.
