Probation periods

Most new Western Sydney University staff (whether engaged on a fixed-term contract of more than one year or on a continuing basis) are appointed on a probationary basis. Probation is the period during which a decision about your continuing employment can be made.

During your probationary period, the University offers appropriate support, development opportunities and feedback to assist you to move to continuing employment.
