3. VENUES & SESSION TIMES

Supervisors are required for both morning and afternoon examinations, in our large Main Venues, our smaller Alternate Venues and some of our off-campus venues.

Depending upon the duration of the examinations in a given venue; supervisors need to be available for up to 5 hours per session (however duration is listed on your roster)

The size of the venue, number of students and role you are rostered to impacts on starting times for shifts. These details are included on rosters approximately 1-2 weeks from exam time.


4. DUTIES & PAY RATES

Exam supervisors and assistants contracted casually by Exams Office will be engaged as General Professional Staff (HEW 3.1)

A 3hr minimum shift applies any time you present for work with FedUni, but generally only one minimum shift may be claimed per day.

For casually contracted staff, indicating availability does not guarantee that shifts will be available. No guarantees can be given in relation to the number of sessions that supervisors are allocated per semester. Exam sessions/shifts are also subject to cancellation up to and on the day of an examination.
