Professional staff performance reviews
The Performance Review and Development Framework for Professional Staff (PRD) provides the basis for a supervisor/manager and staff member to work together in assessing and developing a staff member’s performance to assist the achievement of individual, work area and/or organisational goals, through:
- formal review of performance, normally annually, and
- regular feedback throughout the year.
Casual professional staff performance reviews
Casual professional staff are expected to perform to a satisfactory standard while carrying out their responsibilities including:
- meeting attendance requirements
- displaying appropriate skills and initiative
- contributing appropriately to the work team.
At the end of the employment period, the supervisor will assess the overall performance of the staff member.
Where a staff member's performance is outstanding in relation to the responsibilities required to have been undertaken, the staff member will be recommended for further employment should relevant opportunities arise.
If performance is deemed less than satisfactory, the staff member will not be recommended for further employment.
