The University of New South Wales (UNSW) is one of the leading universities in Australia, known for its world-class academics and research. It employs a large number of academic staff members who are bound by an enterprise agreement that outlines their rights and obligations.

The current enterprise agreement that governs the employment of academic staff at UNSW is the UNSW Academic Staff Enterprise Agreement 2018-2021. This agreement sets out the terms and conditions of employment for academic staff, including their salaries, benefits, and workload.

One of the key features of the agreement is the commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace for staff. UNSW is committed to ensuring that all staff members are protected from physical and psychological harm in the workplace. This includes providing appropriate training and support for staff who may be exposed to workplace hazards.

Another important aspect of the agreement is the recognition of the importance of work-life balance. UNSW is committed to promoting flexible working arrangements for academic staff to help them balance their work and personal life. This includes options such as flexible working hours, job-sharing, and part-time work.

In terms of remuneration, the agreement provides for regular salary increases and annual leave entitlements. It also includes provisions for superannuation and other benefits such as paid parental leave and the opportunity for professional development.

The enterprise agreement also outlines the process for resolving disputes between academic staff and the university. Staff members are encouraged to resolve any issues through informal discussions and mediation. If a dispute cannot be resolved through these means, the matter may be referred to an independent arbitrator.

Overall, the UNSW Academic Staff Enterprise Agreement 2018-2021 is designed to ensure that academic staff members are treated fairly and have access to a safe and supportive workplace. The agreement reflects UNSW`s commitment to its staff members and to maintaining its position as a leading university in Australia.
