Ramps in various locations to allow entrance to and exit from buildings at ground level.
Lifts are located in Building 4 and 7
Toilets are located near the lift in the Language Area, near the Hallway of Human Rights and near the ICT Helpdesk in Building 4 and in Student Services and in the foyer adjacent to the Counsellors’ office.
Financial Procedures Orders All requests for orders must be made on the green Requisition Form, and must be authorised by the line manager. When completing the cost details please indicate if the cost is GST inclusive, or does not include GST. These details can be obtained from your supplier. The onus is on the staff member completing the order form to find out this information. It is unreasonable to expect either the School Finance Officer or the School Administrative Officer to contact all suppliers for this information. All orders must be submitted at least 24 hours in advance.
Cheques Requests for cheques must be made at least 24 hours in advance. It is advised that this payment by cheque be used only as a last resort. If negotiating with suppliers please stress that it is preferable to issue an account to the School, and payment will be made as soon as possible. If requesting cheques, a Tax Invoice must be supplied by the supplier, which indicates that it is a Tax Invoice and includes the supplier’s ABN (Australian Business Number).
Excursions When planning excursions please contact the School Finance Officer before you advise students of its cost. In most cases students do not have to pay the GST component of the cost (the School pays this on behalf of the student and then claims it back from the Australian Taxation Office). Cheques can only be provided prior to an excursion if a Tax Invoice is supplied. It is preferable that suppliers send an account to the school after the excursion. Staff are encouraged to negotiate this with suppliers.
