MESSAGE FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR

Welcome to the University of South Australia. Having arrived at the university from Ireland at the start of 2013, I know from first-hand experience that the initial days and weeks for new staff members can be both exciting and daunting. Among the challenges of any unfamiliar environment are learning how your new workplace operates and where to most easily access relevant and vital information. As you have no doubt become aware, the university is a large and complex institution spread over a number of campuses and with thousands of academic and professional staff. That’s why this induction handbook has been developed. The information contained within can also be accessed through the university website at w3.unisa.edu.au/newstaff/default.asp These resources have been designed to provide new staff members with a broad overview of the university and its strategic vision, as well as an introduction to our academic areas, service units and some of the key figures in the university. We believe that our people remain at the heart of everything that we do, I am proud that we have an Indigenous Employment Strategy, a Reconciliation Action Plan, a Disability Action Plan and a Women’s Development program and that we are working on a gender equity strategy. We want to ensure that our new staff feel welcome and appropriately introduced to both the organisation and to their colleagues. I hope you find your journey through induction to be of interest and value, and we are delighted that you are part of the University of South Australia team. With best wishes Professor David Lloyd Vice Chancellor and President

CODE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT

The Code of Ethical Conduct for the University of South Australia establishes principles to be applied by all staff in their activities and behaviour. All University staff must be aware of and observe the relevant sections of the Code. The Code does not seek to identify common or statutory law requirements, and reference must be made to the University of South Australia Act 1990, University policies and procedures, and other sources for such guidance. Specific procedures for ethical conduct are documented in University Policies and Procedures (for example financial management, human resources, equal opportunity and research). Staff using these policies should understand and apply them in their relevant day-to-day activities. The Code expresses, in broad terms, the requirements for staff to adhere to ethical standards without limiting their resourcefulness and independent thinking in the management of the University. The full details and explanatory notes of the code of ethical conduct are available on the University’s web page at: w3.unisa.edu.au/policies/codes/ethics/ethics.asp

Indicators of personal ethical behaviour You must not allow dishonesty, personal prejudice or bias to influence you in the conduct of your employment. You should not accept gifts, benefits or hospitality if their nature and value may be seen as compromising your objectivity and influencing you in your official capacity. Your actions should be fair, honest, and truthful. You should avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest. You should not condone the use of any statement which is misleading, false or deceptive. You should conduct yourself with care and skill, and ensure your actions do not conflict with the requirements of integrity and objectivity or the University of South Australia Act. You should not use confidential or other information for personal advantage or for the advantage of another. Finally If you would be ashamed if your conduct was reported in a University newsletter or a local newspaper read by friends and colleagues, you should question whether your behaviour is ethical.
