Staff Wellbeing Framework and Plan

Based on feedback from staff, the results of the annual Your Voice survey, benchmarking against other universities, and in support of the University Strategy 2020–2030, Charles Sturt University announced the Staff Wellbeing Framework and Plan in April 2023. The aim of the plan and framework is to create a safe and healthy work environment, foster a culture of positive wellbeing, empower individuals to make positive behavioural health changes, and establish a psychologically safe environment where staff feel supported and valued.

The plan is governed by four pillars: well body, well mind, well culture and well places. The Wellbeing Framework and Plan will be implemented through collaboration with faculties and divisions and will work to integrate wellbeing initiatives with other major projects and programs. Progress will be monitored through staff feedback collected via the Your Voice survey. The plan is designed for continual improvement, with a focus on embedding safety, wellbeing and engagement metrics into performance management for all people leaders.
