Resources

We're in the midst of planning this page. We'd like it to be the go-to place for SBS EMCRs to find the information they need to succeed while working in the School. Think career development, funding opportunities, grant writing tips, connecting with other EMCR organisations and where to find support during challenging times.

Let us know if there are resources you want to see on this page or if you have links and content that you think we should be sharing. Contact us at sbs-emcra@unimelb.edu.au with the subject line: Resources Page.

Promotions

We realised that many of the EMCRs applicants don't know the pathways that will lead them to get a promotion. To help you plan and manage your academic career, we listed here some websites that can help you to find the information you need.

Mental Health Resources

We have recently found ourselves in a challenging time amid COVID-19 restrictions. Having to face career uncertainties, social disconnection and carers’ responsibilities for some, it is understandable that many of us will be feeling stressed, anxious, lost and overwhelmed. To better support EMCRs, we have put together a list of mental health resources below. Please note that this is a general guide; visit your GP for professional advice and call ‘000’ for urgent assistance.
