- Undertake research and analysis of AFTRS course application data, and competitor benchmarking to assist better decision-making.
- Identify improvements in the AFTRS Admission process and systems, and work with the Student Admissions Lead to implement improvements.
- Support Student Recruitment activities at key times including the management of prospective student enquiries, and representing AFTRS at events and expos.
- Create and maintain culturally and psychologically safe learning and working environments.
