All nominations must relate to teaching activities in higher education.
Nomination is open to individuals and teams with teaching or teaching/research appointments
(fulltime or fractional, continuing or contract) in eligible institutions.
Both team and individual nominations are encouraged and teams may be of any size. If a team
is larger than five members, however, a team name should be given.
Each eligible institution may nominate up to eight individuals or teams for Teaching Awards
each year.
Nominations from a single institution may include more than one nomination per category.
The Neville Bonner Award for Indigenous Education is open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous academic
staff; nominees must demonstrate their contribution to Indigenous education.
Early Career is open to staff with no more than seven years of experience teaching in a higher
education setting (this should be interpreted as seven consecutive calendar years and includes
all tutoring, part-time teaching, and teaching at other higher education institutions).
Previously unsuccessful nominees (AAUT and Carrick Awards) are eligible for renomination.
With the exception of Early Career recipients or members of a team, previous award recipients
(AAUT and Carrick Awards) are ineligible for renomination.
Early Career recipients are eligible for renomination in a different category five years after
their Early Career award.
Previous recipients of awards are eligible to renominate if they are a member of a team and
not the lead applicant; the team nomination should be for teaching or programs that do not substantially
replicate the original award or program.
Teaching Awards and Citations are considered distinct award types. Nomination for, or receipt
of, a Citation does not affect eligibility for nomination for a Teaching Award. However, once
a recipient of a Teaching Award (AAUT or Carrick Award), they are not eligible to subsequently
apply for a Citation. |
