The new Leadership and Initiative category of RD7003 Professional Development encourages candidates to engage in professionally beneficial activities during candidature, and have these formally acknowledged on their Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS).
This category enables candidates to undertake a wide range of activities for which a points system applies. Once candidates reach 10 points, they will be exempted from 40 hours of Professional Development.
Points are available on a sliding scale, where some activities (such as becoming a Respectful Relationships facilitator) attract more points (3 points), than attending a conference (1 point). The activities include but are not limited to:
| Activity | Points |
|---|---|
| Establishing and running a writing circle or Shut Up And Write Group | 3 |
| Establishing and running a journal club | 3 |
| Chairing a committee to organise and run a conference for peers | 3 |
| Publishing a journal article | 3 |
| Being an HDR Ambassador | 3 |
| Training for and becoming a Respectful Relationships facilitator | 3 |
| Running skills training (for example, R training) for peers | 3 |
| Presenting a paper or a poster at a conference | 3 |
| Being a committee member for a peer conference | 2 |
| Assisting an academic to organise a conference | 2 |
| Undertaking official social media activities during an academic conference | 2 |
| Attending a conference, without presenting | 1 |
All activities that demonstrate leadership and initiative are encouraged. Please contact the subject coordinator if you are unsure whether your proposed activities fit into this category.
