  • prepare high-quality briefings, reports and recommendations for senior leaders to support decision-making on complex workplace compliance issues
  • contribute to the development of University-wide compliance strategies, governance frameworks and remediation initiatives
  • act as a recognised subject matter expert on Enterprise Agreement interpretation and entitlement-related matters.

  • experience providing strategic advice to senior stakeholders on complex workplace relations and compliance matters
  • demonstrated ability to identify, assess and manage compliance risks, and develop practical solutions that balance legal compliance with operational requirements
