Professor Jonathan Craig
(Vice-President and Executive Dean),
College of Medicine and Public Health
Congratulations on your appointment and welcome to the College of Medicine and Public Health and Flinders University!
Here at the College of Medicine and Public Health we hold a monthly forum for all CMPH staff to attend. All staff are encouraged to attend in-person or online.
I am very proud of the important role that the CMPH plays in supporting the health of our communities. Using research, education and offering high-quality healthcare, we have a transformative power which will continue to improve healthcare across Australia.
We have a clear and compelling vision for our future which has been detailed in the CMPH Strategic Plan. Every position has an important role in supporting this vision. Establishing a strong team with an excellent culture will support the CMPH to strive towards our social vision.
We welcome you as you join our team in the CMPH and look forward to all we can deliver now and into the future.
Every great start begins with the right guidance. This webpage brings together the key information, tools, and responsibilities to help you find your feet and thrive in your new position.
The CMPH Supervisor and New Staff Checklist is a key resource to guide you and your supervisor through every step of your onboarding into the College. Completing it together helps ensure all essential tasks are covered and that your onboarding is thorough, consistent, and aligned with College and University requirements. Your supervisor will work through this with you from your first day.
The checklist supports a smooth introduction to Flinders University and the CMPH. It should be used in conjunction with the mandatory online New Staff Induction Module for fixed-term and continuing staff, which you will be automatically enrolled in via the Staff Learning Portal.
All new staff are also required to complete certain mandatory workshops relevant to their role. You are encouraged to complete all mandatory online training as soon as possible and within your first month.
To make your settling-in period easier, a range of College-specific resources are provided on the CMPH webpages including our governance structure, key contacts and a college calendar. You are encouraged to explore and bookmark these local resources to access key information and guidance specific to the College.
Broader University-wide information is available on the information for new staff webpages, including what you need to know about getting started, and essential topics such as emergency procedures, parking on campus, and work health and safety.
These webpages provide guidance and resources that all new staff members will need in their first months of employment. Information provided covers the requirements for academic, research and professional staff members.
College Forums and Onboarding Session
At CMPH, we hold a monthly forum open to all CMPH staff. Invitations are sent out to all staff from the College Executive support team. Staff are encouraged to attend either in-person or online.
As a new staff member, you will also be invited to a dedicated onboarding session (held quarterly). This session will introduce you to key college information, further helping you settle in and get started successfully.

The CMPH has a vast footprint, extending from Bedford Park in South Australia to rural South Australia and into the Northern Territory.
The CMPH has a commitment to delivering high-quality teaching and research in our rural and remote health locations.
It is important to understand that some practices are different in the Rural and Remote Health settings.
We hope this page helps you feel prepared and supported as you begin your journey with the CMPH. Remember, settling in takes time, and your supervisor and colleagues are here to help. Explore the resources provided, ask questions, and take advantage of the forums and sessions available.
We are excited to have you on our team and look forward to working together to make a positive impact on health and research in our communities.
