Compliance Training Program
The Compliance Training Program provides information on the legal context essential for the professional conduct of Swinburne programs and operations. Training in the relevant legal requirements, and the management of the risks relevant to your work, is a requirement for Swinburne managers and employees. There is significant potential for inadvertant breach of the law due to ignorance of its scope and specific requirements.
Training must be completed for:
- New employees - incorporated into current induction process.
