We are better for our diversity, both students and staff. When we listen to those who are different to us, or challenge us, we grow stronger together. When we feel like we belong, we can achieve so much more. We respect each other, we embrace our differences and we build a sense of belonging in our team and beyond.

With an open mind, we are open to new possibilities. When we think creatively and try new things, we break new ground. And with perseverance, our ideas become innovations. We experiment and explore new ideas, we seek out different views to solve problems and we encourage innovation.
Integrity.
We are honest and fair and hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. We uphold transparency and accountability and use expertise and evidence to make decisions. We strive to uphold RMIT's obligations and reputation.
Courage.
Being our best selves takes courage. When we do what’s right, and not just what’s easy, we hold ourselves to account. We back each other up, and we call out actions that we don’t accept. We act with integrity, we speak out on issues that matter and we are accountable for our actions.
Passion.
We believe in the power of education to transform lives. Student learning and teaching, research, and partnering with industry, are core to what we do; with purpose and determination. We empower people to learn and grow, we care deeply about the work we do and we take pride in what we do.
Impact.
We strive to make a difference, to be agents of positive change for our students, the community and beyond. When each of us contributes, we can make the world a better place. We seek to make a positive impact, we empower each other to achieve great things and we recognise everyone’s role in making a difference.

At RMIT our values guide what we do, how we make decisions and how we treat each other.

Here, we always experiment and explore new ideas, so we will ask you about the strategies you will implement or how you would react to a specific situation related to your work.

Application tips
Expand all sections
If you want to review the progress of your application, you can log into your Candidate Portal by clicking the ‘Sign In’ button. You will see all your previous applications listed under ‘My Applications’.
Your resume is not just your employment history. It’s your opportunity to showcase your achievements and successes as well as personal development. A strong resume indicates how you’ve been successful in your career and relates your skills and experience to the job you’re applying for.
Here are some suggestions for making a great first impression:
Grammar, punctuation and spelling – pay attention to use of correct grammar, punctuation and spelling to demonstrate your communication skills and attention to detail
When listing your employment experiences, don’t forget to detail your achievements. Also, be specific – for example instead of saying you are a “seasoned marketer”, mention the campaigns you worked on or how much revenue you generated.
Use a career summary to highlight the accomplishments that you’re most proud of. Similarly, you can start with career objective if you want to provide context for a career change compared to your past employment history.
Present your employment history with your most recent experience first.
Layout and presentation are vital. Use consistent formatting, sections and graphs where applicable, but don’t go overboard, unless you’re applying for a creative or graphic design role, and you’re looking to show your skills.
Having your name in the header on each page can be helpful for the reader. And don’t forget to include your contact details! Email and phone number are essential.
When applying for a position, key selection criteria is one of the ways for the selection panel to find out more information about candidates’ professional experience, skills and qualifications. Coupled with their resume/CV and cover letter, key selection criteria provide applicants with the opportunity to answer specific criterion, demonstrating their suitability to individual positions. This selection criterion will then be used by the selection panel as a further tool in assessing applicants throughout the recruitment process.
If the position you’re applying for requires applicants to address key selection criteria, you will see a note on that in the advertisement. An application that fails to address the stated key selection criteria may not be considered.
When addressing the key selection criteria, ensure that you have read the position description thoroughly, as this will provide you with information about the University, the position, and any required qualifications and skills.
Under the key selection criteria section of the position description there will be five to eight criterions to be addressed, critiquing your attributes and experience. Please address each of these individually. Examples of situations and experiences can also support your response.
Do your research! Read about RMIT, our purpose and values. Also review the position description and/or job advertisement, make sure you understand the role you’re applying for and what skills and attributes are required from the successful applicant. Think ahead about the examples of when you demonstrated these, as the recruiter and interview panel will most likely be interested in them. Be authentic, show your passion and have the courage to challenge the status quo! We seek those who want to make a positive impact. Also, don’t be afraid to tell us about your mistakes – we see this as an opportunity to learn and finding new ways to get better results. Don’t be afraid to ask the interviewer to repeat or rephrase the question and it's okay to pause if you need to gather your thoughts or think about an example.
Make sure you confirmed the time/date of your interview and know which campus/building you need to go to. Ask your recruiter for a campus map or specific directions and parking/public transport information.
When you join our team, you'll be able to access a range of benefits. From technology, well-being support to flexible schedules and everything in between, we understand that life is not quite one-dimensional.
No matter your need, there’s something for everyone. Find out more

Applicants requiring adjustments
RMIT exists to create transformative experiences for our students, getting them ready for life and work. Our people make everything at the University possible, and we encourage new approaches to work and learning, stimulating change to drive positive impact.

Our Equitable Learning Services (ELS) team provides support and equal opportunities for students with a disability, long-term illness and/or mental health condition and primary carers of individuals with a disability.
As Silver Member of Australian Network on Disability, we are a disability confident employer, committed to providing fair and equitable recruitment processes for candidates with a disability. Our Accessibility at Work team ensures a streamlined and efficient process for staff making workplace adjustment requests.
Sam Baillie
For most of my life I have struggled to read and write. More recently I discovered that my dyslexia is also linked with visual thinking, spatial ability, pattern recognition, problem solving, heightened intuition and creativity. I facetiously like to think of these attributes as my 21st century super powers. To be an authentic and gutsy leader, one needs to acknowledge the importance of imperfection. We are all flawes. I may have limitations but I also have confidence in my capabilities.
If you have an accessibility requirement, at any stage of the recruitment process, we would be happy to assist. Please email the talent team on

The first few years of my professional career were a mix of covering, being allusive and overall not fun. It was then that I realised the importance of inclusion and the absolute importance of diversity. When deciding to come to RMIT, there were a few factors for me which made my mind up, the most important being RMIT’s dedication to inclusion. Coming from the LGBTI community, it is hard to describe how good it feels to know you can be yourself, and be proud at work.
Achievement Relative to Opportunity (ARtO)
RMIT University is committed to creating inclusive culture that recognises diversity of our staff. We understand that life is multi-dimensional, and you may experience a range of professional and personal circumstances that may affect your career. As such, we implemented ‘Achievement Relative to Opportunity’ (ARtO) principles within our recruitment-related policies and processes. You may decide to activate ARtO to address the impact of personal or work circumstances on the scope of your application.
Understanding ARtO
What are the benefits of ARtO?
ARtO framework will help you manage and advance less traditional career and it positively acknowledges your work input and achievement given opportunities available to you throughout your career. It enables you to identify and focus on the quality and impact of the work you produced, rather than the quantity and rate at which it is produced.
View the video below to learn more about ArtO
Achievement Relative to Opportunity at RMIT
Hear from the RMIT team about the Achievement Relative to Opportunity program.
Achievement Relative to Opportunity at RMIT
Hear from the RMIT team about the Achievement Relative to Opportunity program.
Achievement Relative to Opportunity, also known as ARtO, is a way of looking at what someone's managed to do with the chances they've had.
It's not about giving anyone special treatment or expecting less from them.
The ARtO framework is a great tool for people who've taken a less conventional path in their career.
It recognizes the effort they've put in and what they've achieved with the opportunities they've had.
It's more about the quality and impact of their work, rather than how much they've done or how quickly they've done it.
ARtO works on the idea that we should measure achievement based on the opportunity someone's had to develop their skills and show what they can do.
ARtO is all about the quality and impacts of what someone's done, not how much or how wide ranging their achievements are.
ARtO understands that people's personal situations change, and that this can affect how much time they have for work.
ARtO makes the most of each person's unique combination of knowledge, skills, and attributes to get the best results for the team.
When assessing someone, it's important to think about their circumstances, work arrangements or career history could have affected the time they've had available.
Applicants should feel free to talk about any relevant professional or personal circumstances and how they've affected their work.
This could include things like working part time or flexible hours, taking time out for things like parental leave or being a primary career, looking after someone with disability and having a career that's not followed the usual academic path.
For more information on ARtO hiring managers and candidates can have a chat with the talent acquisition team.
If you have any questions or require more information on how to activate ARtO at the recruitment process, we would be happy to assist. Please email the talent team on
TalentSupport@rmit.edu.au

Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP)
website. As there are many visa categories, and variations in personal circumstances, any advice should be sought from DIBP or your nearest Australian Overseas Embassy (a list of Embassies is also available from the DIBP website).
Private health insurance
Medicare
is Australia's national public health insurance system.
Private Health Insurance
is also available from a range of providers. Staff on temporary visas are not covered by the national public health insurance scheme and must take out their own private health insurance for the duration of their appointment.
Australian Taxation Office
The
Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
website provides information about Australia's taxation system. If you are working in Australia you must apply for a Tax File Number. Information on how to apply for a Tax File Number is available from the ATO website.
Bank account
You will need to open a bank account in Australia to receive your RMIT salary. Compared to your home country, you may find Australian rules and regulations for opening a bank account strict and challenging. When visiting a bank to open an account, ensure you have taken as much documentation with you as possible to avoid follow up visits.
The
Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)
is a good place to start your search for a authorized Australian financial institution.
Arriving in Australia
When you land in Melbourne, at the passport desk the immigration (customs) officer will look at your passport and visas, take your immigration (landing) card and ask you why you are coming to Australia. You will need to show them the relevant papers which allow you to stay and work in Australia. It is advisable to have the following items in your hand luggage:
Passport
Visa
Job acceptance offer
Degree certificates
Reference letters (if applicable)
Personal details and Australian contact address
Australian dollars
Driving license (or another identification document).
You might want to have photocopies of all your key travel documents in your main luggage.
Moving to Australia
When moving personal effects and household goods to Australia it is important to refer to
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources
for:
A comprehensive list of common items of quarantine concern
Items not permitted entry into Australia
Information about how your goods are cleared through quarantine
Information relating to shipment arrival timelines (can take up to three months).
If you are bringing a pet to Australia, it is vital to review
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources
for import conditions prior to travel. All dogs and cats being imported to Australia must meet standard Department of Agriculture and Water Resources conditions.

Application and Interview process
We are a global university of technology, design and enterprise. We bring together a rich diversity of people and endeavours and we recognise everyone’s role in making a difference.
What unites us, is our purpose and our values; they are at the heart of who we are, what we stand for, how we make decisions and connect with each other. Our Values inspire us, shape how we know and be on place, wherever we are in the world, and guide how we live and work together.
Inclusion.
We are better for our diversity, both students and staff. When we listen to those who are different to us, or challenge us, we grow stronger together. When we feel like we belong, we can achieve so much more. We respect each other, we embrace our differences and we build a sense of belonging in our team and beyond.
Imagination.
With an open mind, we are open to new possibilities. When we think creatively and try new things, we break new ground. And with perseverance, our ideas become innovations. We experiment and explore new ideas, we seek out different views to solve problems and we encourage innovation.
Integrity.
We are honest and fair and hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. We uphold transparency and accountability and use expertise and evidence to make decisions. We strive to uphold RMIT's obligations and reputation.
Courage.
Being our best selves takes courage. When we do what’s right, and not just what’s easy, we hold ourselves to account. We back each other up, and we call out actions that we don’t accept. We act with integrity, we speak out on issues that matter and we are accountable for our actions.
Passion.
We believe in the power of education to transform lives. Student learning and teaching, research, and partnering with industry, are core to what we do; with purpose and determination. We empower people to learn and grow, we care deeply about the work we do and we take pride in what we do.
Impact.
We strive to make a difference, to be agents of positive change for our students, the community and beyond. When each of us contributes, we can make the world a better place. We seek to make a positive impact, we empower each other to achieve great things and we recognise everyone’s role in making a difference.

The Interview Process
Hear from the RMIT talent team on what to expect when interviewing with RMIT and how you can prepare.
Thank you for choosing RMIT University as your employer. At RMIT University we like to empower people to learn and grow because we're passionate about what we do.
In this video, you will find useful information on your interview, such as who will attend your interview, the types of questions that will be asked during the interview, and where you can find useful information that can be really helpful on the day of the interview.
Typically, the interview questions you may be asked will focus on your professional experience, qualifications, reason for applying, career objectives, and what do you look for from the organisational culture or your manager.
At RMIT our values guide what we do, how we make decisions and how we treat each other.
You will find that some of the questions will touch on how you will exhibit these in your daily life.
Here, we always experiment and explore new ideas, so we will ask you about the strategies you will implement or how you would react to a specific situation related to your work.
This can be done through role plays, case studies, presentations, or psychometric testing.
These types of questions aim to establish your ability to perform in your role.
The interview is the perfect opportunity for you to ask us any questions you may have about RMIT University and the job.
Don't forget to prepare some for us. The format of the interview will depend on the role and the location.
It could be a face to face interview with the panel, or it could be a video or an exam based interview, which allows you to be interviewed from wherever you prefer.
When you are invited to interview, we will confirm the format with you so you know exactly what to expect.
Next, you will meet the interview panel. The panel will typically consist of the hiring manager or nominee, a person with relevant expertise who could be external to the university, or a representative where possible.
We strive for gender balance and diversity in our panels.
We are also happy to make adjustments to the recruitment process for your accessibility requirements.
Please email Talentsupport@rmit.edu.au with your request.
Make sure to check the address of your interview on the invitation we send you.
If you like, you can ask for a campus map from your recruiter.
You can view our strategy and values on the RMIT website.

Application tips
Expand all sections
If you want to review the progress of your application, you can log into your Candidate Portal by clicking the ‘Sign In’ button. You will see all your previous applications listed under ‘My Applications’.
Your resume is not just your employment history. It’s your opportunity to showcase your achievements and successes as well as personal development. A strong resume indicates how you’ve been successful in your career and relates your skills and experience to the job you’re applying for.
Here are some suggestions for making a great first impression:
Grammar, punctuation and spelling – pay attention to use of correct grammar, punctuation and spelling to demonstrate your communication skills and attention to detail
When listing your employment experiences, don’t forget to detail your achievements. Also, be specific – for example instead of saying you are a “seasoned marketer”, mention the campaigns you worked on or how much revenue you generated.
Use a career summary to highlight the accomplishments that you’re most proud of. Similarly, you can start with career objective if you want to provide context for a career change compared to your past employment history.
Present your employment history with your most recent experience first.
Layout and presentation are vital. Use consistent formatting, sections and graphs where applicable, but don’t go overboard, unless you’re applying for a creative or graphic design role, and you’re looking to show your skills.
Having your name in the header on each page can be helpful for the reader. And don’t forget to include your contact details! Email and phone number are essential.
When applying for a position, key selection criteria is one of the ways for the selection panel to find out more information about candidates’ professional experience, skills and qualifications. Coupled with their resume/CV and cover letter, key selection criteria provide applicants with the opportunity to answer specific criterion, demonstrating their suitability to individual positions. This selection criterion will then be used by the selection panel as a further tool in assessing applicants throughout the recruitment process.
If the position you’re applying for requires applicants to address key selection criteria, you will see a note on that in the advertisement. An application that fails to address the stated key selection criteria may not be considered.
When addressing the key selection criteria, ensure that you have read the position description thoroughly, as this will provide you with information about the University, the position, and any required qualifications and skills.
Under the key selection criteria section of the position description there will be five to eight criterions to be addressed, critiquing your attributes and experience. Please address each of these individually. Examples of situations and experiences can also support your response.
Do your research! Read about RMIT, our purpose and values. Also review the position description and/or job advertisement, make sure you understand the role you’re applying for and what skills and attributes are required from the successful applicant. Think ahead about the examples of when you demonstrated these, as the recruiter and interview panel will most likely be interested in them. Be authentic, show your passion and have the courage to challenge the status quo! We seek those who want to make a positive impact. Also, don’t be afraid to tell us about your mistakes – we see this as an opportunity to learn and finding new ways to get better results. Don’t be afraid to ask the interviewer to repeat or rephrase the question and it's okay to pause if you need to gather your thoughts or think about an example.
Make sure you confirmed the time/date of your interview and know which campus/building you need to go to. Ask your recruiter for a campus map or specific directions and parking/public transport information.
When you join our team, you'll be able to access a range of benefits. From technology, well-being support to flexible schedules and everything in between, we understand that life is not quite one-dimensional.
No matter your need, there’s something for everyone. Find out more

Applicants requiring adjustments
RMIT exists to create transformative experiences for our students, getting them ready for life and work. Our people make everything at the University possible, and we encourage new approaches to work and learning, stimulating change to drive positive impact.
With one in five Australians identifying as having a disability, we’re committed to providing the best possible experience for all everyone and to keeping accessibility front of mind for all our current and future services. Our Equitable Learning Services (ELS) team provides support and equal opportunities for students with a disability, long-term illness and/or mental health condition and primary carers of individuals with a disability.
As Silver Member of Australian Network on Disability, we are a disability confident employer, committed to providing fair and equitable recruitment processes for candidates with a disability. Our Accessibility at Work team ensures a streamlined and efficient process for staff making workplace adjustment requests.
Sam Baillie
For most of my life I have struggled to read and write. More recently I discovered that my dyslexia is also linked with visual thinking, spatial ability, pattern recognition, problem solving, heightened intuition and creativity. I facetiously like to think of these attributes as my 21st century super powers. To be an authentic and gutsy leader, one needs to acknowledge the importance of imperfection. We are all flawes. I may have limitations but I also have confidence in my capabilities.
If you have an accessibility requirement, at any stage of the recruitment process, we would be happy to assist. Please email the talent team on

The first few years of my professional career were a mix of covering, being allusive and overall not fun. It was then that I realised the importance of inclusion and the absolute importance of diversity. When deciding to come to RMIT, there were a few factors for me which made my mind up, the most important being RMIT’s dedication to inclusion. Coming from the LGBTI community, it is hard to describe how good it feels to know you can be yourself, and be proud at work.
Achievement Relative to Opportunity (ARtO)
RMIT University is committed to creating inclusive culture that recognises diversity of our staff. We understand that life is multi-dimensional, and you may experience a range of professional and personal circumstances that may affect your career. As such, we implemented ‘Achievement Relative to Opportunity’ (ARtO) principles within our recruitment-related policies and processes. You may decide to activate ARtO to address the impact of personal or work circumstances on the scope of your application.
Understanding ARtO
What are the benefits of ARtO?
ARtO framework will help you manage and advance less traditional career and it positively acknowledges your work input and achievement given opportunities available to you throughout your career. It enables you to identify and focus on the quality and impact of the work you produced, rather than the quantity and rate at which it is produced.

Achievement Relative to Opportunity, also known as ARtO, is a way of looking at what someone's managed to do with the chances they've had.
It's not about giving anyone special treatment or expecting less from them.
The ARtO framework is a great tool for people who've taken a less conventional path in their career.
It recognizes the effort they've put in and what they've achieved with the opportunities they've had.
It's more about the quality and impact of their work, rather than how much they've done or how quickly they've done it.
ARtO works on the idea that we should measure achievement based on the opportunity someone's had to develop their skills and show what they can do.
ARtO is all about the quality and impacts of what someone's done, not how much or how wide ranging their achievements are.
ARtO understands that people's personal situations change, and that this can affect how much time they have for work.
ARtO makes the most of each person's unique combination of knowledge, skills, and attributes to get the best results for the team.
When assessing someone, it's important to think about their circumstances, work arrangements or career history could have affected the time they've had available.
Applicants should feel free to talk about any relevant professional or personal circumstances and how they've affected their work.
This could include things like working part time or flexible hours, taking time out for things like parental leave or being a primary career, looking after someone with disability and having a career that's not followed the usual academic path.
For more information on ARtO hiring managers and candidates can have a chat with the talent acquisition team.
If you have any questions or require more information on how to activate ARtO at the recruitment process, we would be happy to assist. Please email the talent team on

International applicants
If you are from overseas and considering moving to Australia to work, there are plenty of online resources to assist you with your planning.
Living in Melbourne
Migrating to another country is one of the biggest decisions of your life. We recommend that you do your research. As doing research into the new town or city that you intend to live in will not only make your settlement and integration into the local community a lot smoother but can also help match your expectations with the reality of life in Melbourne, Australia.
Melbourne, with a population of nearly 4 million people, is a multicultural city. It is also an easy city to navigate with a wide range of transport option, including an extensive public transport system.
Visa information
To work within Australia you will need a valid visa. Current information on migrating to Australia is available from the
Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP)
website. As there are many visa categories, and variations in personal circumstances, any advice should be sought from DIBP or your nearest Australian Overseas Embassy (a list of Embassies is also available from the DIBP website).
Private health insurance
Medicare
is Australia's national public health insurance system.
Private Health Insurance
is also available from a range of providers. Staff on temporary visas are not covered by the national public health insurance scheme and must take out their own private health insurance for the duration of their appointment.
Australian Taxation Office
The
Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
website provides information about Australia's taxation system. If you are working in Australia you must apply for a Tax File Number. Information on how to apply for a Tax File Number is available from the ATO website.
Bank account
You will need to open a bank account in Australia to receive your RMIT salary. Compared to your home country, you may find Australian rules and regulations for opening a bank account strict and challenging. When visiting a bank to open an account, ensure you have taken as much documentation with you as possible to avoid follow up visits.
The
Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)
is a good place to start your search for a authorized Australian financial institution.
Arriving in Australia
When you land in Melbourne, at the passport desk the immigration (customs) officer will look at your passport and visas, take your immigration (landing) card and ask you why you are coming to Australia. You will need to show them the relevant papers which allow you to stay and work in Australia. It is advisable to have the following items in your hand luggage:
Passport
Visa
Job acceptance offer
Degree certificates
Reference letters (if applicable)
Personal details and Australian contact address
Australian dollars
Driving license (or another identification document).
You might want to have photocopies of all your key travel documents in your main luggage.
Moving to Australia
When moving personal effects and household goods to Australia it is important to refer to
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources
for:
A comprehensive list of common items of quarantine concern
Items not permitted entry into Australia
Information about how your goods are cleared through quarantine
Information relating to shipment arrival timelines (can take up to three months).
If you are bringing a pet to Australia, it is vital to review
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources
for import conditions prior to travel. All dogs and cats being imported to Australia must meet standard Department of Agriculture and Water Resources conditions.
