STAFFING A key goal of EFPI in 2007 was strategic planning in consideration of the major directions of the University. In the process of setting up these plans and networking with staff and units across CSU it became apparent that the scope of current and potential activities of EFPI required an expansion in staffing and a review of staff roles. This was further compounded by two factors a) agreement to work closely with PEN as affiliates and b) the identification of CSU’s Theme 2 for the AUQA audit as professional education and practice‐based learning. These two developments indicated the need for further staffing increases. As a result of recommendations to the DVC (Academic) 2008 staffing increased by: • 50% FTE 2 with the secondment of Associate Professor Lindy McAllister as Deputy Director • 50% FTE with the extension of Dr Loftus appointment from 50% to 100%. Additional temporary appointments were associated with the AUQA project.
