University-Wide Induction

The university-wide Online Induction Program provides information about Deakin to assist in your understanding of Deakin's goals and strategies and to introduce you to a number of important services, systems, policies and procedures.

New fixed term and continuing staff will be invited via email to commence the induction program, shortly after commencing employment at Deakin. The program is designed for progressive completion over the first three months of employment.
