64. Working off-shore Policy

64.1 Working off-shore will be governed by University Policy. The policy will include:

• Right of staff to refuse unreasonable requests to work outside Australia;
• Definition of an "unreasonable request" in relation to work outside Australia;
• Provision of the means for communication with immediate family in Australia in the circumstances that a staff member is required to undertake work outside Australia;
• Work-related travel;
• Right to direct staff to return to Australia, where the University forms the view that it is unsafe for the staff member to remain offshore; and
• A statement that casual professional and Teaching Associate staff members are not expected to work offshore.

64.2 However, nothing in this Agreement prevents the University, in its discretion, from amending or varying the policy throughout and beyond the nominal life of the Agreement.
