New Staff Information

Welcome to the Faculty of Health Science

You will have received a Staff Induction Booklet from the University’s Human Resources Department, which will outline the organizational structure of the University, and provides important details about the way the structure works, forms which must be completed upon comencement, and contact details for a range of University services. Please read this booklet carefully, and ask your supervisor or manager to explain anything that you do not understand. Please note that many of the resources you will need will be available on various University websites, so it is important that access to this facility is made available to you as soon as possible after you commence your employment.

Here are some useful links:

Induction Checklist

The Staff Induction Booklet also includes a copy of the “Supervisor’s and Manager’s Checklist for New Staff ” (pg 20-22). Your supervisor (or his/her nominee) will go through this checklist with you on your starting day to ensure that you have all the resources and information necessary for you to commence your employment. Please make note of any points that are not completed on your commencement day so that these can be followed up efficiently.

No matter what position you have in the Faculty, OH&S is an important part of your induction. Please make sure you read the OH&S section of your induction manual carefully (pg 14-15) as it is important that you understand how the system works.

The University has safety policies, procedures and guidelines for a wide range of activities, and these can be found on the website: http://www.admin.utas.edu.au/hr/ohs/ohs.html

Your supervisor will go through some of the these with you, however you should also meet your School’s Safety Officer, who can clarify any concerns.

Safety Officers for the FHS Schools are listed below.

In addition to the School Safety Officers, there are also Elected Safety Representatives (ESR’s) for each work area. ESR’s are your representative in the University’s safety system, so please ask to be introduced to the ESR for your area as early as possible.
