Staff Directory
Adding and removing staff
Adding staff to directory
Staff will automatically populate the Staff Directory when they are allocated a Griffith Phone extension. You can request to be published under a shared team extension in lieu of your own extension number if required. These requests will be approved on a case by case basis.
To completely opt out of the appearing in the Directory, you must provide a legitimate business reason and this request is subject to approval by your supervisor and the Staff Directory administrator.
Adding casual or temporary staff
Casual, sessional or temporary staff can be added to the Griffith staff directory if:
- they have been approved to have their own Griffith phone extension AND
- they are required to be contactable by the Griffith community and external parties as part of their daily duties AND
- their supervisor has requested that they are included.
If they do not fulfil the above requirements, they are exempt from being published in the staff directory.
Removing staff from directory
Staff will automatically be removed from the Staff Directory 30 days after they have ceased employment with Griffith. If you need to remove a staff entry earlier, you can request to delete existing staff entry.

Staff directory updates
General directory changes, location changes, part time work days or professional last name
Extension and mobile Number
As a new staff member, your Griffith extension number will be added to the Griffith Staff Directory upon allocation. If your Griffith extension changes, you need to complete the extension number or desk phone request (phone profile update) form. You can opt to add your Griffith mobile number (if applicable).
Location
When you move to another location on the same campus you can take your extension, but you will still need to update the Staff Directory with your new location details.
If you move to a different campus or move to desk that already has an existing desk phone extension, you will need to complete the extension number or desk phone request (phone profile update) form. Your location will be updated as part of this process.
Professional Last Name
You can add a professional last name to your personal details displayed in the Staff Directory. Your professional last name will append to your HR primary last name. For example: Jane Smith (Jones).
Part Time Work Days or Extended Leave
You can request to advertise your set work days in the online directory (e.g Mon - Wed) or advertise extended leave (e.g. parental leave)
