to Australian Institute of Geoscientists menbers? |
No. Information
authorised for publication by individual contributors will
be available to anyone who accesses this site.
Information for contributors claiming membership of a
particular professional association will be available to the
body in question. Contributions to the site
by ALL Australian geoscientists are
actively encouraged! The more geoscientists who
contribute information, and keep it up to date, the better
the standard of information and service provided by the
directory. |
|
Can I contribute information to be
used for statistical purposes without having an entry in the
directory? |
Yes. Contributors
have the option of specifying that no information regarding
them be published (although the form should be completed so
that we can ensure and verify the accuracy and authenticity
of any information submitted). |
|
Will Directory information be
available to commercial organisations? |
No!
Specific information will ba available through the on-line
query facility and to professional bodies representing
professional geoscientists. Only statistical summaries
of information relating to the training, employment and
professional standing of geoscientists will be published. |
|
I'm a self employed contractor.
At the moment I'm not getting sufficient work to be
considered fully employed. How should I answer the
employment questions for the directory? |
Self employed
contractors and consultants who are not substantially fully
employed should indicate that they have been unemployed in
either the previous 12 months or five years as appropriate,
and use the time unemployed field to indicate the proportion
of employment. All data entered in this
part of the form is used for statistical purposes only.
The aim of these questions is to be able to present a
statistical "snapshot" of how effectively the resource of
trained geoscientists in Australia is being used. |
|
How secure is information submitted to
the directory? |
Only information
specifically authorised for publication by contributors is
stored on-line. The directory search
facility only permits searches using specific criteria.
Directory of Australian Geoscientists information will not
be knowingly or intentionally provided to any organisation
seeking to use this data for commercial purposes. |

I'm a self employed geoscientist.
How can I indicate that my available time is not fully
utilised in the employment statistics? |
Self-employed
geoscientists should indicate the proportion of their
available work time not currently utilised in terms of
months for the period requested e.g.: 50% of available time
not utilised in the past 12 months equates with 6 months
unemployment. |
