We would like to invite you to come and 'Discover Griffith' by taking part in the 'On the Move' orientation bus campus tour
This one-day tour is fun, informative and interactive. You'll have the chance to experience the uniqueness of each of our campuses and see some of the great facilities staff and students get to use as part of the teaching, research and community engagement activities happening across the University.
Each tour can take up to 30 staff so there are plenty of opportunities to network with colleagues.
We have two departure points for tours, Nathan or Gold Coast campus. We alternate between the two so that all staff have access to the tours.

Feedback
As a new employee, it opened my eyes to the diverse range of degrees offered, and the facilities that Griffith has to offer students. Reading about something is very different to viewing it first hand. It was a great opportunity to network as well.
It gave me a deeper understanding of the diversity of education that Griffith offers. It was also great to meet and network with staff members from different areas.
Most definitely, I am much better informed now as to the campuses, courses and how they connect. Also better informed for potential research opportunities.
Absolutely helped me feel part of a bigger team and have an increased appreciation and respect for what the other areas on the campus do.
Made me feel even more proud to work for such a great institute. Lots of benefits and opportunities as an employee.
