Welcome to the Quick Reference Guide for Curtin Managers

About this Guide

This website is intended to provide Curtin managers and supervisors with a quick reference guide to the key Curtin policies and procedures which you will probably need to refer to from time to time in carrying out your duties. Please note that it is only a limited selection of those policies or procedures most likely to be required on a day-to-day basis. Only policies which have a general application have been included: the list doesn't include policies which would be relevant only to specific areas of the University.

The Policies and Procedures web site has a comprehensive and up-to-date list of all Curtin policies and procedures.

This list also includes a Search facility.

The policies and procedures in this Guide have been arranged under headings that correspond to the information categories developed as part of the University's new flow strategy. The adoption of these terms aligns the policy database with the common vocabulary for describing information across Curtin:

If a particular policy or procedure could logically fit under more than one heading, it has been included in both places for ease of reference.

In each case a direct link has been provided to take you to the specific policy or procedure required. The register of policies is being regularly updated so you can be sure that the policy or procedure which you are directed to is the most current one available. If you require clarification of any policy/procedure you can contact the officer listed.

We want this website to be as user-friendly as possible. If you have any comments about how it could be improved, or suggestions about other important policies or procedures that should be included, please contact:
