Human Resources Office

Welcome to the Human Resources Office

Operationally the Human Resources Office (HRO) is responsible for assisting the university to attract and retain high quality staff. The office does this through educating, assisting and supporting the office's management team and also through the direct education, support and assistance of all staff in the employee relationship. In addition the HRO provides mandatory reports relating to employment statistics to various external bodies including Government Agencies. Strategically the HRO works with the Vice Chancellor and Senior Leadership Team to advise on and develop appropriate strategic focus and activity to ensure the continuing growth and success of the University. In support of the University's Strategic Plan, the HRO has developed a statement of service commitment to staff. This statement summarises the standards of key services provided by Human Resources, and reflects our commitment to customer service.
