22.01.2022 Hi everyone, I currently sit on the recently created Healthy Universities Advisory Group (HUAG) at Griffith University. We are responsible for implementing Griffith's Healthy University Strategy. The vision of the Strategy is to optimise the health, happiness and wellbeing of our students and staff at Griffith, through an integrated, whole-of-university approach. Why are we so concerned about student and staff wellbeing?... - It helps to increase retention rates and reduce absenteeism; - Positive wellbeing can improve performance; - Being known as a safe and healthy university will make Griffith a more attractive place to work and study; and - It is the right thing to do! How will we implement the Strategy throughout the whole university? With the help of a passionate network of student and staff volunteers, who will be called Healthy University Champions (HUCs). What will Healthy University Champions be required to do? - Complete training to assist them in their role (they will receive a microcredential for this training); - Promote wellbeing events and initiatives in their element/school/department; - Come up with their own ideas for small initiatives they believe will work in their area; - Direct staff and/or students to available services; - Identify gaps in staff and/or student wellbeing; - Collaborate with other HUCs; and - Contribute to quarterly reports to the HUAG. Are you interested in becoming a HUC? Send your expression of interest to Carlie and Deb at: [email protected] by 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday 18 August). If successful, your training will begin later this week (Deb and Carlie will provide more details). - Saira (GUPSA Coursework Officer).

06.01.2022 CAPA urges the Government: To prevent the next Brain Drain fund researchers now "The Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations (CAPA) are urgently renewing our calls to the Government for adequate funding to support postgraduate students, before we lose the next generation of brilliant talent, ahead of this year's Budget. Contributing to over 50% of universities share of human resources dedicated to research (ABS 2018), graduate researchers are the often unseen back...bone of the national research output, without which Australian research would grind to a halt. They have not only been at the forefront of getting us through this pandemic, by doing coronavirus research, Graduate students develop and share important new knowledge, by publication, which contributes to the universitys world rankings, and boosts the Australian higher education sectors global reputation. Universities use these measures to distinguish themselves from each other and to attract international students to their campuses, which is important to the post-pandemic economic recovery. CAPA calls on the governments to adequately fund postgrads and recommend: That all domestic Higher Degree by Research students be paid a stipend for the duration of their research degree. That all domestic self-funded postgraduate students be eligible to receive Austudy, subject to means-testing. That the Government provides ongoing adequate funding for university teaching and research. That the government provides a one-off payment to universities to support RTP scholarship extensions to 4.5 years for all HDR students at Australian universities. A Jobmaker initiative should include research jobs by increasing public research funding initiatives (e.g., ARC, NHMRC, research block grant, or other research infrastructure funding) that will stimulate industry collaborations that will create new jobs by developing new industries (e.g., start-ups/spin off businesses). That some attention and support be brought to addressing the mental health concerns of postgraduate students at universities, both coursework and research. That the Government amends the Commonwealth Scholarships Guidelines to establish paid family violence leave, and provides an additional $491,000 to universities to fund a family violence leave scheme for recipients of Research Training Program stipends. The value of postgraduate students to their university is more than just the tuition fee used for funding research or low-cost researchers. The real value of postgraduate students is much greater. We want to remind Australia the value of its postgraduate students, and why investing in them is investing in Australia's future, through our #Valuepostgrads campaign! https://mailchi.mp//media-release-capa-urges-the-governmen[UNIQID&fbclid=IwAR34sFG8-ORR7hzjuqmEFlwT0u6n1U1yTfQbfLzG6rsqYdU3RqWKryF3k64
