Staff Insights
Our academics and professionals are already experiencing the UniSA difference. But don’t take it from us. Find out what our people have to say about life at the University.
I’ve
worked for UniSA since 1989. My background is in nursing – I used to work as
a nurse educator at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. After upgrading my skills,
I wanted to be part of an innovative teaching environment outside of a
hospital setting. This was one of the main attractions to joining UniSA – it
offered exposure to different ways of learning in a more stimulating way.

Dr Carol Grech Senior Lecturer, Division Health Sciences 19 years with UniSA
After
working as a police musician for 13 years I moved to Western Australia to
teach at the Academy of Performing Arts. UniSA’s Arts Management program is
the oldest and most prestigious in Australia; and with the Adelaide Fringe
Festival and a range of other international events in the city, my decision
to join was made easy for me. More >
Dr Stephen Boyle Academic Director, UniSA College Seven years with UniSA
I
moved from the University of Melbourne to UniSA two years ago, attracted to
its research focussed culture. I’m really passionate about research, but at
other universities I had to teach administration as well. UniSA has
capitalised on my strengths to achieve its initiatives, while allowing me to
pursue my passion. More >
Carol Kulik Research Professor, Human Resource Management 18 months with UniSA
UniSA
cares about its people. In my work area, HR’s wellness initiative supplies
fresh fruit and runs various health related seminars, as well as offering
free massage every fortnight. I play basketball on a Friday afternoon, but
you can take your pick from badminton, circuit training, even karate! UniSA
doesn’t just recognise the importance of learning, but the importance of a
fit and healthy lifestyle. More >
Scott Gage Information Technologist Two years with UniSA
It
was the broadness of the role at UniSA that really appealed to me; I
realised it was much more than just a finance role. The people I spoke to
were all really interesting and there seemed to plenty of opportunity and
challenge. More >
Jeremy Sloan Divisional Director, Finance & Resources (Division Education Arts & Social Sciences) Two years with UniSA
While
working as a researcher in the UK, I attended a conference in Tuscany. It
was here I met John Ralston, one of the big names in the research industry
and a UniSA employee. When I heard about the research he was involved in
with UniSA I didn’t think twice about making the move to Australia to work
alongside him. More >
