The awards recognise contributions made by general staff over a three-year period that exceed the normal requirements of their positions. The awards are equivalent to the Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Distinguished Teaching.

Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Manager Ms Janet Kemp and Ms Lilyanne Price, Academic Programs Administrator from the Department of Chemical Engineering, received individual awards.

Ms Kemp was recognised for the outstanding, consultative and inclusive leadership she has consistently demonstrated while managing significant change and development in the faculty's budget, staffing, structure and systems.

Ms Price was commended for the exceptional service and administrative support she has provided to undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

A team award was presented to the Faculty of Education's Development Team, which plays a key role in the faculty's business planning and development strategies. Through the team's work, the faculty's teaching and research activities have broadened to include significant numbers of non-teachers as well as industry and community partnerships.

The Infrastructure Services team from the Information Technology Services Division received an award for the successful installation of an IT network across the university's Victorian campuses. The project has significantly improved network reliability and performance.

A team award was also presented to the Content Management System (CMS) self-selecting key user working party, made up of representatives from the library, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, and Information Technology Services.

A total of $20,000 will be distributed among the winning individuals and teams.
