Research supervision is a specialised practice, distinct from conducting research and different from teaching coursework. Engaging in ongoing professional development helps supervisors strengthen their capacity, enhance their confidence, and support HDR students more effectively across their careers. 

To remain in good standing on the HDR Supervision Register, supervisors must stay up to date with required training.

This session will be conducted by Prof Gerard Hoyne and Dr Raoul Oehmen, who will guide participants through the foundational knowledge of the ethics process at UNDA.
