The accommodation rental fees, maintenance schedules, cleaning requirements, food service requirements and other services and facilities offered to the residents are generally fixed for a period of one year only. As operational changes can be made on a yearly basis, the Director, Monash Residential Services reserves the right to employ staff on fixed term appointments.

  • current and projected work demands;
  • operational changes;
