Staffing Delegations

Staffing Delegations have been developed and approved by the University Senate for use at ACU National. Staffing Delegations are to be exercised consistent with the requirements of relevant University policy, procedure, industrial instrument and budget provisions where relevant.  Staff exercising a staffing delegations are referred to the relevant Staffing Delegation Policy.

In circumstances where policies and procedures have not yet been introduced, the staffing delegations within the policies and procedures are to be exercised.
  
 In all circumstances, unless otherwise specified, the Vice-Chancellor is authorised by Senate to exercise all of the staffing delegations.  In circumstances where a delegation is not defined, the matter should be submitted to the Director Human Resources, with advice, for possible referral to the Vice-Chancellor where appropriate.

Normally, a delegate will approve on the basis of a prior recommendation.  A delegate may not approve or authorise where he/she has made that recommendation.  A delegate must take care not to approve a recommendation where he or she has a conflict of interest.
