Modern slavery
View
Monash University supports universal human rights and stands strongly against all forms of modern slavery and we are committed to actively seek out and address any potential instances of modern slavery within our global operations and supply chain. Through the 2020 Modern Slavery Act Report, our first report under the Modern Slavery Act 2018, we demonstrate how Monash is working to identify the risks of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain, and the actions we have taken to address those risks. This is part of our five-year continuous improvement program to systematically address modern slavery within our operations and supply chain.
Equal opportunity
View
Monash is committed to promoting equal opportunity in employment, education and service delivery in accordance with universal principles of equity, fairness and social justice and in compliance with anti-discrimination laws. We recognise that honesty, fairness and mutual respect and the responsible exercise of power are fundamental to achieving equity for all. We seek to provide an inclusive and flexible environment for staff and students by identifying and removing any remaining systemic barriers to equitable access and participation
Employment security
View
In 2021, the median length of service of Monash staff was 4.9 years. The challenges brought by COVID-19 resulted in the rethinking and recasting of staffing and sustainability initiatives in order to maintain an engaged, effective and talented workforce and leadership. The University extended the hybrid working settings established in 2020 following feedback from staff and managers via surveys and focus groups. Essential workers were supported to ensure the delivery of critical research and education activities, and the many government-issued health directives were adhered to throughout the year.
