Course Summary

The Lift Fellowship Scheme has been developed to utilise the framework offered by the PSF 2023 to offer bespoke development opportunities that will help you as educators achieve Fellowship ambitions and enhance your work as educators. We provide Application Development Workshops focused in the needs of each descriptor specifically designed to support the progress of your application. As applicants you will be required to attend one of these and will find accessing the relevant workshop will support your commencing work on your application. We also offer one on one mentoring support that you are required to attend. This is designed to assist you in developing your application and helping you construct reflective demonstrations of your practice.

CQUniversity and UniSQ are working together to create The Lift Fellowship Scheme and to become independently accredited institutions with the ability to review and award applications within the Australian higher education context in which they are developed. As a team, we are working directly with Advance HE to support educators to develop reflective strategies that help them respect a Code of Practice in relation to teaching and learning.

As two regional universities we have begun to understand that partnership can be powerful, we share similar passions, are occupied by similar concerns and shoulder similar limitations. The Lift Fellowship Scheme is the outcome of this partnership it is underpinned by the idea of lifting as you climb, learning how to work together to provide higher education learning environments that are relevant, high quality and success driven.

This micro-credential will provide staff at both institutions with the necessary resources, support and guidance to successfully gain Advance HE Fellowship. Staff can use these resources or multiple Fellowships.

Entry Requirements

Any staff member from UniSQ or CQU who provide teaching and/or support for learning can be recognised by Advance HE through the Lift Scheme depending on their professional practice and experience at one of four categories of fellowship and is therefore entitled to enrol in this micro-credential.
