• Contribute disciplinary expertise to course monitoring, review, redevelopment and new-course implementation.
• Undertake scholarly activity relevant to the discipline and apply findings to strengthen teaching and curriculum currency.
• Contribute to the School’s scholarly and professional development culture through presentations, communities of practice and applied projects.

Multi-campus Delivery, Governance and Compliance

• Support academically equivalent delivery across campuses, student cohorts and delivery modes.
• Promote consistent expectations for curriculum coverage, assessment, moderation, feedback and student communication.
• Promote academic integrity and follow approved processes for suspected breaches.
