UNSW Online Orientation
All new staff at the School of Medical Sciences are required to complete the UNSW Online Orientation. Other useful information is available on the UNSW Medicine New Staff Orientation webpages.
Staff ID Cards
The Staff ID Application form is available on the FM Assist website. The completed form must be authorised by the Research Manager, Dr Anastasia Korlimbinis or the Executive Officer, Julie Hatzi (ext 53799) before you take the form to FM Assist (Level 2, Mathews Building) for processing.
Keys
Staff requiring a key should contact Nancy Tran (ext 52528) who will do a budget check and place a Works & Services order.
Parking
Staff may apply for a parking permit or use the metered parking around campus (at the listed cost). Any staff member parking on campus must do so in a recognised parking space. Parking in a non-parking area or remaining in a metered parking space after the meter has expired, will incur a NSW Government parking infringement notice. UNSW Medicine will not support payment of any parking infringements from University funds under any circumstances. This applies to infringements that may be incurred by staff, students and any visitors to the campus.
