Workforce Planning – Consultation

The Australian Institute of Family Studies is in the process of developing an organisation-wide workforce plan to identify our current and future workforce needs.

One part of this initiative involves analysing our Corporate Services workforce to ensure we have the skills and capabilities necessary to fulfill our strategic objectives.

We would like to talk with other Human Resources professionals who have undertaken a similar process and are interested in sharing their insights with us.

If you would like to assist, please contact Marisa Rametta via human-resources@aifs.gov.au

Upcoming Changes to Non-ongoing Provisions

Hi All,

With the new regulations for Non-ongoing provisions coming into effect December this year which will limit the use of fixed term contracts for the same role beyond two years (including renewals) or two consecutive contracts. Would anyone able to share how your agency is going about implementing these changes?

We’re particularly interested in the management of this rollout for staff you have on contracts that will exceed two years come December. We have sought legal advice, but it would be great to bounce around ideas about how other agencies are planning to manage these changes.

It would be great to chat here on the forum so it’s visible to others, otherwise my email is monique.heddle@aciar.gov.au.

Thanks so much!
