Supporting Academic Advancement

Academic Promotion As part of our commitment to supporting academic career progression, we take proactive steps to removing barriers, addressing unconscious bias, promoting equity in decision-making and continuing to provide support for career progression, promotion and development.

A range of programs are available to support staff academic retention and development.

In addition, programs align with the commitments of Monash University Gender Equality Action Plan 2022-2025; Impact 2030 (Diverse Community Initiative) and the objectives of SAGE Athena Swan. Read more about our strategy here.

Achievement Relative to Opportunity

Achievement Relative to Opportunity is a core tenet of our commitment to equity, diversity and Inclusion. It is incorporated within all employment-related policies and processes, in recognition that our staff experience a range of professional, personal and other circumstances.
Advancing Women's Success Grant

The Advancing Women’s Success Grant program acknowledges the challenges women face in combining academic career aspirations with caregiving responsibilities. It aims to alleviate the effects of caregiving responsibilities on participation in work-related activities, particularly those that require time away from home.
Amplifying Women's Promotion Success

This 2-part workshop program aims to support academic success by providing targeted enabling opportunities and skills development, with a particular focus on enhancing writing skills in the context of academic promotion.
