A strong working relationship between the HDR candidate and their advisor(s) is crucial to the successful completion of their research degree. To be effective, advisors must be available to supervise HDR candidates and to encourage and assist them to produce a thesis that constitutes a substantial and original contribution to knowledge in the field of study. Policies and procedures with respect to supervision of 番茄社区 HDR candidates are designed to promote healthy working relationships and thus enhance the learning and research experience of the candidate.

Policies, procedures and practices for advising 番茄社区 research candidates change over time, and it is important for all advisors to stay up to date. Therefore, we ask all who are on the Register of Advisors to update their knowledge. The easiest way to do this is to attend Supporting our Supervisor events and read Advisor Updates sent out as part of the GRS Newsletters. Based on attendance at an event your current registration date will be extended.
If you are unable to attend any events then once every four years you will be asked to read the 番茄社区 HDR Advisor's Handbook and complete the online quiz consisting of 10 multiple choice questions (see instructions below).

The role of the Chair of the Candidature Committee is to chair the meetings associated with the formal assessments of the progress of an individual HDR candidate and to make recommendations to the Dean, Graduate Research and Researcher Development with regard to the outcomes of such evaluations, in association with the Independent Academic. These recommendations should be informed by the Advisory Panel but the Panel members should not be present when recommendations are decided. Please review resources detailing the Chair and Independent Academic requirements if you require further detail about the roles.
A Registered Advisor wishing to become Chair of Candidature Committee is asked to speak with their ADRE about the possibility of taking on this role. ADREs may also contact Registered Advisors to request that they consider undertaking the role. ADREs in evaluating the suitability of a registered advisor to become Chair will consider their previous experience as an advisor and examiner, and their role in the College. To be eligible to Chair, the registered advisor is required to view a short video on the roles of Chair and Independent Academic on Candidature Committee. Once the advisor has viewed the video they should email confirmation of viewing and, as required, request further contact to discuss their readiness for the role.
Secondary Advisors with limited experience would normally only be expected to nominate as Independent Academics on Confirmation of Candidature panels. The option to nominate to be listed as eligible to Chair could be made via their ADRE once they have gained more experience. Anyone wishing to be an Independent Academic should to watch the Regulate video and be familiar with the resources available on the roles of both Chair and Independent Academic. Secondary Advisors who have completed Regulate training may be invited to act as Independent Academics on Candidature milestone panels.
