Staff Parking

Please note: No application form is required for payroll deductions or single upfront payment.

A staff parking permit allows a motor vehicle to park in areas designated as Staff Parking. This permit should be clearly displayed on the inside lower left hand side of your vehicle's windscreen and is transferable between vehicles.

New staff will need to ensure that they are in the HR system. This system is used by parking administration to verify staff employment status prior to the issue of parking permits.

Definition of a Staff Member

A member of Staff means a member of staff of the University, whether academic or general, whether tenured, fixed term, probationary or otherwise and who is an employee in either a full-time or part-time capacity. In the case of a part-time employee who is also a student, they must be working more than eight hours a week on a regular basis directly for the University.

Please note that for the purpose of the Motor Vehicle entry fee policy, there is no longer any differentiation between parking permit fees for part time or full time staff members.

Purchasing a Staff Parking Permit

Permanent staff no longer need to fill in an application form. To collect your permit, you will need to show photo ID and provide your staff number to parking administration to have your employment status validated.

Payment by Payroll Deduction

Payroll deductions are not available to contract or casual staff. To qualify for payment by payroll deduction, it is essential that the staff member be employed by the University as a full or part time permanent employee and be on the University's automatic payroll system before a permit can be issued. If you no longer require a staff parking permit and wish to stop payroll deductions, you will need to notify Parking Administration in Facilities Management and return any currently valid staff parking permit. Deductions will cease upon receipt of written notification and return of the permit.

Single Upfront Payment

A form is no longer required for this payment method.

If you are employed on a contract ending prior to November in the year of issue or are a casual staff member, then you will need to pay upfront for your parking permit. Payroll deductions are not available. To purchase a staff parking permit by upfront payment you will need to call into Facilities Management and show photo ID. EFTPOS facilities are available. If you choose to pay cash then you are required to have the correct money. If you choose to return your staff parking permit prior to the end of the permit period, you may be eligible for a pro rata refund.

Staff Validation

The Staff Validation permit is designed to allow staff to park in staff areas while providing the flexibility of using daily paid permits. A Staff Validation permit can be obtained by completing the online Staff Validation application form.

A staff validation permit will be issued free of charge after verification of staff member status. Depending on your staff member status, you may be issued with either a half yearly permit, which expires on 30 June, or a yearly permit, which expires on 31 December in the year that it was issued. If you have a half yearly permit and your staff member status changes and you need to park on campus in second semester you will need to renew your permit.

Staff parking at Ourimbah campus will be required to display a staff validation permit when parking their vehicle in a staff designated area, as no parking fees apply at Ourimbah.
