Security and Privacy

The University understands that the security of personal information is very important to staff.

Maximum security depends on both you, as a user, and the University.

The University has designed the eStaff web site using the most up to date security precautions available. The security used for eStaff is comparable to that used by the banking industry for web based transactions and will be reviewed regularly and updated as required.

The status bar of your web browser (this is at the bottom of your computer screen) will show you when you have a secure connection to eStaff by using the following padlock symbols:

Netscape 4.76 Indicates a secure site using Netscape         Internet Explorer 5.01 or 5.5 Indicates a secure site using Internet Explorer
If you DO NOT have a secure connection you will see the following symbols:

Netscape 4.76 Indicates an unsecure site using Netscape         Internet Explorer 5.01 or 5.5 - no symbol will be displayed.

To maintain the highest level of security you must use the web site in accordance with the following security instructions.

You must:

  • not disclose your user name or password to another person
  • keep your user name and password in secure and separate places
  • use the recommended web browser
  • LOGOUT when you are finished
  • provide a current home address which cannot be a PO Box or departmental address
You are also responsible for the security of any material you print and making sure that changes in eStaff are correct.
