MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY

A meeting of the Staff Consultative Group will be held at 9.00 am on Tuesday 24 July 2007 in the Senate Room, Lincoln Building.

Members are requested to notify the Chair of the Staff Consultative Group, Carolyn Kennett, of any additional items which they wish to have starred, and the reason for seeking discussion of those items.

Members who are unable to attend the meeting are requested to send their apologies to the Chair (e-mail carolyn@ics.mq.edu.au).

I wish to apologise for the fact that the headers of all the policies are missing.  The paper work from HR came through at 4pm this afternoon and I cannot afford to spend more time tonight sorting out how to out a dozen different headers in a document. 

	Carolyn Kennett, 17th July 2007
