Professor Aidan Byrne, Professor Andrew Cockburn and Professor Nicholas Glasgow congratulate you on your employment with the Australian National University (ANU) and welcome you to Science@ANU.

As a new staff member you are encouraged to read through the University’s Guide for New Staff Members and about working at ANU.

To initiate your employment with the ANU it’s important you complete the following:

• personal particulars form
• employment medical procedures
• salary payment/deduction form
• tax declaration and Uni super membership

On your commencement you will be allocated an employee number, which is needed to apply for:

• an email account
• a staff access card
• a parking permit

As a new employee you are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the ANU Enterprise Agreement of 2005 – 2009, and Policies & Procedures.

Payslips, leave balances and personal development courses are available via an interactive web application called HORUS. You can also apply for leave and personal development courses via HORUS.

To introduce you to the University community, you will be invited to attend a welcome to new staff function, hosted by the Vice Chancellor, as well as the formal ANU Induction. This program includes a guided tour of the campus (by bus) as well as various guest speakers. Induction is a structured and supportive method of introducing a new staff member to their role, their work area and the University.
 
Supervisors at the ANU play a vital role in welcoming and introducing new staff to the workplace and providing the necessary information and support. An Induction Guide has been developed to assist Supervisors with this process. The Induction Checklist should be completed by the Supervisor and given to the local HR area, or business manager.

If you would like additional information, your local HR staff can provide you with support and guidance in relation to induction, and we encourage you to contact us in person, by phone or by email.

Recognition of prior service applications are considered from other Australian University’s for long service and sick leave purposes.

We welcome you to Science@ANU and hope that you will have a rewarding time contributing to the University community.
