Eligibility criteria

  1. Candidates must be Members of the Society
  2. Candidates should be currently engaged in teaching in Australia at any level within the higher education system
  3. Candidates should have held an academic position (at least Level B) for no longer than a total of 60 active months (not necessarily continuous in the event of career disruptions) at the time of the closing date for nominations. A career disruption involves a prolonged interruption (longer than 28 calendar days) to a Candidate’s ability to work, either due to total absence or partial return to work (which will be prorated) as a result of illness or significant carer’s duties (e.g. care of newborn, or of extremely ill family member) or other legitimate career disruptions outside of the candidate's control. Only up to 24 months of career disruption can be counted. Adequate independent documentation of such periods of total or partial absence needs to be provided.
