Careers at Federation

Looking for work? Federation could be the perfect place to start (or develop) your career. Find out how we invest in our people and why we have such high staff retention.

Our staff drive our success. So we don't just want to attract the best employees, we also want to look after them. Nurture their careers. Recognise and celebrate their achievements. And work-life balance isn't just a buzzword here – we actively encourage it. A set of living values underpins our approach to staff support. We listen. We change. We encourage innovation and growth. And we know that a healthy workplace culture benefits not only the individual and the organisation but also the wider community. 

Federation University – one of regional Victoria's largest employers – is an inclusive, rewarding workplace that values diversity, collaboration and flexibility. Staff have access to ongoing training in emerging technologies, and there are plenty of opportunities for promotion or movement. We also offer a 17% superannuation contribution, which is well above the national super guarantee.

  • champion inclusive practices to ensure equity, access and equal opportunity
  • create an environment where everyone feels welcome, respected and safe
  • embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage, knowledge and perspectives into University life.
