TRI POLICIES
The Translational Research Institute (TRI) welcomes and values all feedback so that we can continually improve our services and deliver the highest quality in everything we do.
We encourage a positive and collaborative organisational culture that responds to concerns in a receptive and constructive manner, and in accordance with the principles of procedural fairness and natural justice. In doing so, the TRI has developed various policies, which are regularly reviewed to ensure best practices, and to provide you with the best possible support.
Please find links to TRI policy documents on the right, and links to resources and industry groups at the bottom of this page.
Policy Documents
Resolving issues
We aim to assist in, and encourage, the resolution of issues at the lowest level and as quickly as possible, and our officers can help you to identify appropriate alternative avenues for your issue to support those principles.
- It is advised that, in the first instance, concerns are respectfully discussed with the parties involved to seek a resolution.
- If your issue can't be resolved directly with the involved parties, we recommend that the matter is discussed with your supervisor, department lead or the human resources officer. The matter may be escalated to the CEO or COO for further investigation.
- If you are still not satisfied with the situation, there are a series of external resources which can guide you to a resolution.
Please review the policy documents above to ask questions or seek information and assistance with TRI workplace issues.
External resources
If our internal procedures do not resolve your question, concern or complaint, there are other external pathways which can assist you. While we encourage you to try to resolve your issues with us directly, you can refer to an external agency at any time. The following agencies may be able to help you with some guidance and support.
