Hi all, I just accepted a continuing Lecturer position at a Go8 university. Offer letter says that I am on probation for 5 years.

I am not from Australia, so I was just wondering, is this similar to the probation pre-tenure, where being formally appointed after probation is similar to tenure?

Is it as strict as getting tenure, or mostly a formality?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: fixed pre-tenure
