Faculty academic staffing committees are management committees accountable to the relevant executive dean of faculty. One faculty academic staffing committee is established per faculty.
If required, institutes or other areas outside of faculties may establish a committee in order to enable coverage of staff within their area. This will require approval from the Vice-Chancellor and President and the committee will be named accordingly but remain operational under this Charter.

Faculty academic staffing committees undertake the following responsibilities:
- recommend approval of promotions for Level B and C within the faculty
- provide a Recommendation Report to the University Academic Staffing Committee (UASC) on applications for Level D and E promotions
- determine an applicant’s eligibility and qualification requirements in accordance with the Academic promotion procedure
- provide advice to the relevant delegated officer on Level A, B or C probation goal setting and confirmations or terminations
