Welcome to ACREW

The Australian Centre for Research in Employment and Work (ACREW)

The Australian Centre for Research in Employment and Work (ACREW) has been established to promote research and scholarship in the broad area of work and employment. A key aim for the Centre is the promotion of cross disciplinary and collaborative research from a diverse range of areas, including human resource management, industrial and employee relations and organisational behaviour. ACREW seeks to encourage projects spanning private, not-for-profit and government sectors. The Centre also seeks to encourage projects with multiple outcomes including publications of high quality and impact, activities that build towards nationally competitive grant applications, and recommendations that have both practical relevance to industry and have social value.

The specific aims of the research unit are:

• To conduct research that is socially responsive and socially responsible;
• To facilitate the attainment of high quality research and publications in the area of work and employment;
• To facilitate research in ways that contribute to our aims and are sustainable for ACREW researchers;
• To facilitate linkages between the Department of Management and other organisations (industry, government, non-profit organisations, and other universities).
