Induction

New Staff

Welcome to the University of Adelaide

Commencing at a new workplace can be both exciting and a little overwhelming. The transition to the new workplace is made easier and more effective if there is a thorough induction process. It is the responsibility of your supervisor to ensure you receive a comprehensive local induction. There are also the following online training courses that you will need to complete as part of your probation.

The various elements of induction, including the local induction and the online courses, will give you the most important and relevant information to enable you to settle into life on campus as quickly as possible.
