Transition updates

Find information about the transition to Adelaide University, your enrolment, and more. Information is added regularly, so please check back often.


To facilitate an effective student experience, the following student transition principles have been developed to provide support to students transferring to Adelaide University, including supporting the transition to their Adelaide University program.

  • Communication: All current students will receive timely and transparent communication regarding any impacts to their student experience, program or courses.
  • Program: Students will be transitioned to an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) equivalent Adelaide University program or have their existing program transferred.
  • Study plans: Current students will receive a transition study plan that outlines their transition credit and remaining studies prior to 2026 enrolments opening.
  • Support: All current students will be provided with support before, during and after the transition to Adelaide University.
  • Credit: Students will be awarded transition credit for the studies completed within their existing program (including credit previously approved at their foundation university).
  • Support arrangements: Existing support arrangements will be maintained for all students to ensure equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
  • Flexibility: Transition arrangements will consider and accommodate students studying part-time, allowing sufficient time for completion of programs.

If you are transitioning to Adelaide University in 2026, you will receive your transition study plan prior to enrolment opening for your program in December 2025. Your study plan will detail the courses you have completed and those you’ll need to enrol into when enrolments open for undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students in late 2025. You will be able to complete your degree in the same timeframe, provided you continue to make satisfactory academic progress.

Please note that the majority of graduate researchers will not receive a study plan as their degrees do not contain coursework. Graduate researchers will instead be contacted with specific advice relating to their transition and Adelaide University program.

If you have any questions once you receive your study plan, our dedicated Transition Support team will be able to help with any queries – contact them via email or phone: +61 8 7420 5101.

Your study plan will include the following information:

  • Your personal details, including name, student ID etc.
  • Your current/Adelaide University program and plan information (including names and codes).
  • The courses you have completed in your current program (including previously approved credit) and how will they be recognised in your Adelaide University program.
  • The courses you need to enrol into to complete your degree at Adelaide University, including the code, name and the semester it’s available in.
  • Some important study plan notes.

Please be aware that all transition study plans will be based on a full-time load. Students who are currently studying part-time may wish to reach out to their local student support teams in 2026 to have their study plan adjusted to a part-time load.

When the time comes to enrol and you’re searching for your courses, please be aware some courses have similar or the same names. Ensure you are enrolling in the course with the correct code as outlined on your transition study plan.

More information about enrolments is available on the Enrolling at Adelaide University webpage

We are fully committed to supporting you during the transition to Adelaide University. You will receive timely and open communication regarding any changes to your student experience, your program or any courses. You will be provided with support, both face-to-face and online, before, during and after transition to Adelaide University.  

The student support services available at Adelaide University will incorporate all the services currently available to students at the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia. This includes support services such as general enquiry services, counselling, disability or carer support (including access plans), First Nations student support, graduate research specific services, elite athletes and performer agreements and personalised support for veterans, and the continuation of any ongoing scholarships (subject to meeting ongoing conditions).

For graduate research students, this will also include support through the Adelaide University Graduate Research School.

You can also visit the Support web page to find out more about Adelaide University’s range of support services.   

View the Adelaide University Academic Calendar to see the key dates for 2026-2027. Adelaide University has a long-term vision to move to a trimester calendar that will support a more accessible and flexible student experience. We anticipate a gradual transition that will not commence before 2028. 

If you’re living in Adelaide and looking for new accommodation, or you’ll be arriving in Adelaide to commence your studies in 2025, please seek accommodation assistance from the education provider you are enrolled with for 2025. Visit the relevant websites for more information:

Both foundation universities have strong, positive relationships with all accreditation partners, and we are working closely with them to ensure all programs at Adelaide University can offer the same professional accreditation as equivalent programs at our foundation institutions. This work is ongoing and a high priority for both Adelaide University and our accreditation partners.

Accreditation information is provided in the accreditation section on individual program webpages and is updated regularly. Degree information for most Adelaide University programs is now available, with the remainder to be added soon. Please check back shortly if your program page is currently unavailable. 

Please note that the foundation universities’ internal transfer and credit forms are currently unavailable and will be accessible in the Adelaide University Student Portal later in 2025. If you require assistance in the meantime, please contact Ask Adelaide or Campus Central.

In September, current students received an email introducing you to the new Adelaide University Student Portal, named myAdelaide, and asking you to log in for the first time. Please go back and check your emails from the Adelaide University Transition Support Team. Some students will have to activate their AU student account number prior to logging into the portal. More information about this, including user guides, are available on the technology support page. There are some Frequently Asked Questions about this process available in the FAQ section below too.

Transitioning student communications


Storage and collaboration tools

From 5 January 2026, the tools you use every day — M365, OneDrive and Zoom — will be available in the new AU environment. You’ll simply access them by logging in using your AU Student ID and password. 

How do I access applications for my course?   
From 20 December, your college will ensure that software and applications required for your course are available in your classroom, computer suite, or via MyApps — Adelaide University’s new unified virtual desktop and applications platform. 

UniSA foundation students will continue to have access to the UniSA MyApps environment for any course-specific needs, using their UniSA login details. 

More information, including FAQs, will be available soon on the AU Student Portal. 

Print, Scan and Copy   
Between 19 December 2025 and 5 January 2026, printers across campus will be upgraded to AU PaperCut. During this period, printing processes may differ depending on whether the printer you are using has been upgraded. Please refer to the signage at each printer to check its upgrade status and how to print from it. 

From 5 January, if you have an AU Student ID card, please use it for all printing. If you don’t yet have your AU card, you can continue to use your foundation university student card to release prints at any campus printer.  

Instructions for adding the AU Follow You Print queue will be available near all printers. 

  • From Monday 15 December: 
    UniSA foundation students will no longer be able to view their printing balance or history in the student portal, student app or student top-up facility however, this change does not affect your ability to print. You can continue printing as normal while any paid balances are transferred to your AU student printing account.
  • From 5 January onwards 
    All student printing will be managed through AU PaperCut. You will be able to top up and view your balance via the AU Student Portal. More information and helpful guides be available soon on the AU Student Portal. 

Computer updates – student spaces  
From December, computers in UniSA student spaces (such as libraries and computer suites) will be updated in preparation for Adelaide University. 

If you are on campus during this period, you may see signage and updated lock screens indicating whether a computer still requires UniSA login details or has been upgraded and now requires AU logins. 

From 5 January 2026, you will need to use your AU student ID and password to log in to all computers on campus. 

Data migration – OneDrive & Outlook

OneDrive and Outlook accounts for UniSA foundation students will move to Adelaide University between 20 December 2025 and 5 January 2026. During this window, you’ll receive an email at your UniSA address confirming the migration has taken place and with simple steps on when to switch over and how to start using your AU setup.  

Storage and collaboration tools

From 5 January 2026, the tools you use every day — M365, OneDrive and Zoom — will be available in the new AU environment. You’ll simply access them by logging in using your AU Student ID and password. 

The below content was shared in the UniSA and UoA Student eNewsletters on 19 November 2025:

Legal Transfer to Adelaide University

As mentioned in the August all staff co-Vice Chancellor email, the Proclamation about the transfer of your program enrolment to Adelaide University has now been made by the Governor of South Australia. This means that if you are an eligible student, your transfer to Adelaide University will formally occur on 1 January 2026. There is no action needed from you in relation to this transfer – this will happen automatically. This does not apply to students who have completed the necessary requirements for their program and will graduate from their foundation university. 

One-year Honours programs at Adelaide University.

If you began your bachelor’s degree at a foundation university with the intention to complete a separate single-year Honours degree after their bachelor program, Adelaide University will offer some legacy single-year Honours programs to satisfy these requirements where a four-year Honours program at Adelaide University is unavailable to transfer into.

All the information about the programs and how to apply is on the new myAdelaide Student Portal.

You will need to use your AU student account number to log in to the portal. If you haven’t activated your AU account, more information about that is on the website and if you need help finding your AU student account number, contact Student Assist.

Adelaide University Library update

Heads up! Some library tools need a quick update before the move to Adelaide University. As we get ready to transition, there are a few library systems where you’ll need to take action to keep your saved content and preferences.

These include:

  • EndNote
  • Library databases (like Web of Science, Scopus)
  • LinkedIn Learning
  • eBooks
  • Course Readings

If you use any of these, you’ll need to follow a few steps to make sure everything transfers smoothly. Unfortunately, the library can’t do this for you—it’s all tied to your personal account.

Check out the instructions here: https://au.libguides.com/transition

Please complete these steps by Friday 19 December.

Need help? Reach out to your current university library—they’re here to support you through the process.

Finance update

Please continue to make payments via your current invoice and payment methods until Wednesday 31 December 2025.

After that, any remaining outstanding balance will be transferred to your Adelaide University student account. Please wait for a new invoice to be issued from Adelaide University, which will include instructions for making payments online via Adelaide Pay Now, accessed via the Adelaide University Student Portal.

Any credit balances will be transferred to your AU student account and will apply to any charges that are raised in Adelaide University.

Check the Adelaide University website for more information about finances.  

Student ID cards

Students can now collect their Adelaide University ID Card from metro campuses – Adelaide City Campus West, Adelaide City Campus East, Magill and Mawson Lakes. You can book a time slot online to pick up your card from those locations. More information about this was emailed to students on Friday 7 November 2025.

OSHC provider at Adelaide University (UoA only)

From 2026 Medibank will no longer provide on campus support to International Students who hold a Medibank OSHC policy. If you hold a current policy with Medibank, your cover will continue as outlined in your policy.

You can continue to access support through retail stores (with a store in the Adelaide CBD), the Medibank website, the 24/7 Student Health and Support Line and the Medibank app.

From January 5 2026, Adelaide University's preferred OSHC provider will become BUPA.

Emailed to relevant students on 18 November 2025:

Dear [student name],

As a follow up to our earlier communication regarding Adelaide University placement uniforms and name badges, we are pleased to let you know that you can now order your free replacement uniforms and free name badge allocation through our dedicated online store. You will need to use your AU student account number to log in to the website. If you haven’t activated your AU account, more information about that is on the website and if you need help finding your AU student account number, contact Student Assist.

For students attending placements in January and February, please order your uniform and name badge using the size guides and instructions provided, by Sunday 30 November 2025. Early orders will be used to help prioritise distribution, so ordering promptly will give the University the best opportunity to have uniforms available before early placements commence.

In the event that the uniforms don’t arrive prior to commencing your placement, you will be able to commence your placement in your foundation university uniforms (including name badges), until your Adelaide University uniform is ready for collection. 

Please place your orders via this website - Adelaide University Uniform Replacement Store

When placing your order, please note the following essential information:

  • Ordering: You will be able to order your free replacement allocated items directly through the website. Allocations are set for each item, and vary between programs. Please refer to the Uniform Allocations page on the website to check your free allocation.
  • Size guides: A size guide is available on each item page to assist with selecting the right fit.
  • Early placements (January–February 2026): As above, please order your uniform as soon as possible using the size guides provided and place your order by Sunday 23 November 2025. Please use the Contact Us form if you want to arrange to try on uniforms prior to ordering.
  • Placements from March 2026 onwards: If your placement commences from March onwards and you would prefer to try on your uniform first, you will be able to visit the Student Association store on campus during or after Orientation 2026 (9th – 20th February) and Week 1 of teaching period before placing your order.
  • Name Badges: Please order your name badge as soon as possible, ensuring you list your preferred first name during the checkout process. You can do this without ordering the rest of your allocation, if you would prefer to try on your uniform first.
  • Pick-up location: You can select your preferred uniform collection location during the online ordering process.
  • Collection: Uniforms will be available for collection during Orientation 2026 (9th – 20th February) and Week 1 of the teaching period, unless you are a student with an early January–February placement. Students with early placements will have the option to collect their uniforms in December and January on campus.

Please remember that replacement uniforms are only provided for students with upcoming placements in their current program. Orders will be cross-checked against enrolments before collection.

Unredeemed replacement uniforms will expire on September 4, 2026 – Semester 2 Census – so please arrange your replacement AU uniform before this date.

If you are due to enrol in a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course at Adelaide University for 2026 once enrolments open in December, you are encouraged to do so as early as possible, as you will need to access the new Adelaide University WIL system, AU InPlace. If you require support, please contact your College WIL Team. If you are currently engaged in WIL activities at UniSA or University of Adelaide, please continue to use your existing respective WIL platforms for the remainder of 2025. 

Thank you for your attention to this process as we prepare for the transition to Adelaide University.

If you have any questions about your uniform, please contact Student Assist via email or phone: +61 8 7420 5101. If you haven’t activated your AU student account number and need help, please contact IT on +61 8 8302 5000.

Subject: [Name], your Path to Adelaide University update

Dear [student name],

We are now in the last quarter of 2025 and would like to provide you with an update on the Q4 milestones highlighted on the Student Path to Adelaide University. You can hear more about the Path to AU by watching the recent Student Webinar, with the recording available on the new myAdelaide student portal.

Enrolling for 2026

Enrolments will progressively open by discipline from Monday 1 December, with individualised study plans continuing to be distributed. More than half have already been delivered, and the remainder will be sent to students before enrolments open. You will find everything you need to know about enrolling and the support available on the Adelaide University website

The website also lists the specific time and date your program/school will open for enrolment. Summer School enrolments will also open at the same time. 

You will be able to see the 2026 Adelaide University timetable on the website when enrolments open.

Enrolment Checklist

In October, we emailed you with information about how to complete your Enrolment Checklist. If you haven’t completed this yet, please do so prior to enrolments opening to ensure your enrolment process is as smooth as possible.

Viewing your GPA via the Student Portal

Your Grade Point Average will be available on the myAdelaide student portal by the end of 2025. Your GPA will be recalculated because Adelaide University will adopt a standardised methodology used to determine student GPAs, leveraging the methodologies currently used by the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide. 

This recalculation will apply to courses you have completed at your current foundation university only, including courses you commenced and concluded in 2025, or will conclude in early 2026. 

While most students will see little or no change, some may experience a minor increase. Students will not experience a decrease in their GPA. 

If you are completing your degree in 2025 at a foundation university, your GPA will not be recalculated.

Student ID cards

From 17 November to 19 December 2025, and from 5 January 2026, onwards you will be able to collect your new Adelaide University ID Card onsite at all campuses. You will need your card to access printing and library services, buildings, and concessions in 2026.

For the following locations, you can book a time slot online to pick up your card. The booking form will open on 10 November 2025.

  • Adelaide City Campus (East) - The Hub, Mezzanine or Playford 3-50
  • Adelaide City Campus (West) - Level 2, Jeffery Smart Builidng
  • Magill - Building B, 1-52
  • Mawson Lakes - Building C, 1-37

If you study at Waite, Whyalla, Mt Gambier or Roseworthy campus, your collection window will be confirmed later this month.

The process should take about 5 minutes, and you will need your previous student ID card or a valid form of photo identification to pick up your AU ID card. 

If you will be on placement in early 2026, you must collect your AU ID card before the end of this year as you will need it for your placement.

If you are a student who studies externally, from mid-November 2025, our team will begin bulk printing Adelaide University ID cards for 100% online students. As this process takes time, your card may not be posted until early 2026.

You don’t need to take any action right now - once your card has been printed it will be posted to you.

Work Integrated Learning

If you will be undertaking a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) activity next year – such as placements, internships and clinics – please enrol in your WIL course(s) as early as possible as you will need to access the new Adelaide University WIL system, AU InPlace. Following enrolment, details of your WIL activities will be sent to your Adelaide University email address. 

If you are currently engaged in WIL activities at UniSA or UoA, please continue to use your existing WIL platforms, UniSA InPlace and Uni of Adelaide SONIA, for the remainder of 2025.

Where can I get help

Student support services will continue to operate as usual on your campus. You will have continued access to:

  • Learning, writing and math support services
  • 24/7 support from Studiosity
  • Peer Assisted Study Sessions
  • International student support services
  • Counselling
  • Access & Inclusion/Disability Support services.

If you have an access plan with your foundation university, this will be carried over to Adelaide University. More information about student support will be available in early 2026. 

Student Assist, the new enquiries team at Adelaide University, is now live and will support you through the remainder of the transition and onwards at AU. If you need help with any aspect of the transition, please contact Student Assist via email or phone +61 8 7420 5101. 

Throughout the remainder of 2025, please keep checking the current student webpage on the Adelaide University website and the new myAdelaide student portal for the latest updates about the transition. 

Thank you for your continued engagement as part of the transition to Adelaide University.

The below email was emails to all UoA and UniSA students on 5 November 2025.

Dear Students,

The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia are united in our commitment to fostering a university environment built on respect, inclusion, and integrity. All students have the right to study in a place where they are valued and treated with dignity. The Universities will not tolerate or condone any form of racism, racial vilification, or discrimination, including antisemitism, Islamophobia, or other forms of racial or religious prejudice. Behaviours such as harassment, bullying, exclusion, or victimisation based on race or religion are unacceptable and will be addressed with the highest priority.

Everyone should feel that they are valued and are a part of our communities. Belonging is something each of us helps to create. It is strengthened by listening to others, engaging with empathy, and choosing to act when behaviour undermines the dignity or wellbeing of our community. Belonging is promoted when we support one another, celebrate diversity, include different perspectives, and treat others with fairness and consideration. Conversely, behaviours such as exclusion, discrimination, harassment, or racial vilification can make students feel unsafe, unwelcome, or excluded. We take seriously our shared responsibility to ensure that our campuses remain places of safety, equality, and belonging.

Looking ahead to the creation of Adelaide University, these values will remain at the heart of who we are. Respect at AU means contributing to a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where everyone is treated with dignity and care.

We understand that reporting racist or other inappropriate behaviour you have witnessed or personally experienced can be challenging, and that it often takes courage to speak up. You will be supported throughout the process, whether you choose to make a formal report or simply seek advice. We ensure that necessary safety measures are in place if you feel compromised, that you are connected with the most appropriate support services, and that you are fully informed about your reporting options so you can make decisions that are right for you.

Everyone has a role in maintaining a safe and respectful university community. The Universities have zero tolerance for racism, discrimination, or any form of harmful behaviour, and all reports are taken seriously. We are committed to ensuring the wellbeing and safety of all students.

The below content was shared in the UniSA and UoA Student eNewsletters on 5 November 2025:

AU Student Advisory Panel wraps up

The Adelaide University Student Advisory Panel wrapped up its two-year journey last week, marking the end of an important initiative that has been essential for embedding student voice in decisions shaping the future of Adelaide University.

Just this year, 64 student panellists contributed in 35 formal sessions and nine co-design workshops, giving over 25 projects meaningful student insights across learning, wellbeing and student experience.

Thank you to the panel members for their role in helping build Adelaide University with students, not just for them.

OneDrive migration (UniSA students only)

Your UniSA OneDrive data will be migrated to Adelaide University in December 2025 and available from 5 January 2026 when you log in with your Adelaide University credentials. Your OneDrive data will still be accessible throughout the migration period via your usual UniSA login. Multiple sweeps of migration will take place during this period to ensure that nothing is missed.

Changes to IT support requests

As we move closer to Day One at Adelaide University, the way you request IT support is changing as the IT support teams from the University of Adelaide and UniSA come together as one.

A reminder that as of today, Wednesday 5 November, the University of Adelaide and UniSA IT support teams have come together as one and if you need IT support, you now have to follow a new process by choosing one of the following options:

Other important information

  • Study Locations: We don’t expect any significant changes to campus locations for most activities in 2026. Most classes that students attend in 2026 will be in the same locations as they were in 2025. An exception to this may be in cases where Adelaide University can offer students access to specialised facilities that they can’t access at their current university. Any cross-campus timetabling decisions will be made with a student-first approach. Timetables will aim to keep students primarily on the same campuses that they commenced their studies and required travel between campuses will be minimised.  
  • Forms: As they become available, AU forms (such as leave of absence, reduction in load, etc.) can be found here.  
  • myAdelaide Student Portal: A reminder that more functionality in the new myAdelaide student portal is being released progressively throughout 2025.   
  • Academic Calendar: View the Adelaide University Academic Calendar to see the key dates for 2026-2027.   

Support 

  • Student Webinar: Deputy Vice Chancellor Tom Steer and Pro Vice Chancellor Katrina Falkner recently hosted a Webinar, taking students through the Path to AU and answering your questions. If you weren’t able to join live, a recording is on myAdelaide here.  
  • Current student webpage: This page on the Adelaide University website continues to be updated with the latest transition information and FAQs. 

Thank you for taking the time to complete your Enrolment Checklist.

Paid and volunteering opportunities at Adelaide University

Are you passionate about building community and helping fellow students feel welcome at Adelaide University? Applications are now open for Peer Connect Leaders, Peer Connect Guides and Global Mates programs!

These opportunities will allow you to develop leadership and communication skills, make connections and expand your network, make a real difference in the student experience, and gain valuable experience while having fun. Find out more about each program and application details below.

Peer Connect Leaders

As a Peer Connect Leader, you’ll play a key role in welcoming new students and providing them with direction and advice about uni life. You’ll be the first point of contact for many new students, welcoming them to Adelaide University and helping them start their journey with confidence. You’ll conduct welcome and mid-study check-in calls, respond to student enquiries, and support university teams with designated tasks. This is a casual employment role with Adelaide University, where you’ll also have the chance to share your own experiences and make a real impact on the student journey. Applications close Sunday 12 October.

Peer Connect Guides

As a Peer Connect Guide, you’ll support new students as they transition to university life. You’ll host campus activities to connect students with peers, share valuable advice and promote available support services – all from a student perspective. This is a volunteer role where your contributions can be recognised by honorarium and exclusive opportunities. Applications close Sunday 16 November.

Global Mates

As a Global Mate volunteer, you'll assist international students at Adelaide University through social activities and events, and help create a sense of belonging, community, and appreciation of cultures. You'll work with International Student Support to host casual events, lead city tours and help international students settle in. Applications close Wednesday 8 October.

UniSA email update (UniSA only)

As part of the transition to Adelaide University, your UniSA email will be migrated to a new Adelaide University (AU) email account in preparation for 5 January 2026.

This is part of the AU student account activation and log on process that we have emailed to all UniSA students, and we ask that you check your UniSA inbox and action the email from the AU Transition Support Team.

For now, please don’t use your AU account or email unless you’re activating your account and logging onto the myAdelaide portal. We will set up automatic forwarding from your AU email to your UniSA email from 22 September 2025 and you will be able to respond to those emails from your UniSA account.
From 5 January 2026, the migration will be complete and you will receive a communication telling you to start using your AU email as your primary account. Until then, please do not turn off the forwarding. Forwarding will remain in place until all UniSA emails have been fully migrated (between 20 December 2025 and 4 January 2026).

For any questions, please contact IT on +61 8 8302 5000.

UniSA’s Magill campus (UniSA only)

UniSA has not changed its current plans to maintain its teaching and research presence at the Magill campus as previously indicated. We have not commenced any planning in regard to relocating Magill programs, nor is this scheduled to commence in the short term.

Reminder: City East campus network outage (UniSA only)

Between 23 September and 3 October 2025, six buildings at the UniSA City East campus will be migrated to the new Adelaide University network. While these upgrades are necessary, they will involve planned outages during the migration period for each building. Visit the UniSA website for updates and to view the planned schedule.

Changes to IT support requests

As we move closer to Day One at Adelaide University, the way you request IT support is changing as the IT support teams from the University of Adelaide and UniSA come together as one.

From Friday 17 October, if you need IT support you can do one of the following:

Log an IT request online via the Technology at Adelaide University page. You’ll need to log in with your AU student number, which has recently been emailed to you and you will need to activate before logging in.

  • Call IT on (08) 8302 5000.
  • Visit the onsite support teams as normal.

The old IT portals and the UoA and UniSA IT Help Desk email will still work until Wednesday 5 November, but any requests you make there will be redirected to the new system. After 5 November, these options will no longer be available.

Dear [student name],

Ahead of the transition to Adelaide University, a significant project has been undertaken to review the uniform needs of transitioning students and we wanted to provide you an update on that project.

Replacement mandatory placement uniform with Adelaide University branding will be provided to students at no cost to you. Please note that if you are graduating at the end of 2025, this isn’t applicable, so please disregard.

Instructions for ordering replacement uniform items will be sent to you in the coming months, where you will be able to select the campus you’d like to pick up your uniform from. If you are unable to collect your uniform from one of the campuses, postage will be available at your own cost.

The uniform items that are being replaced depend on the program you are in, with the below listing the items that will be replaced in your program:

Additional uniform items will be available for purchase in January 2026, with more information to come.

Replacement uniforms are only for students that need to attend a placement in their current program, so please do not place an order if you are a graduating student. Orders will be crosschecked with enrolment prior to uniform collection.

If you have any questions about your uniform, please contact the Transition Support Team via email or phone: +61 8 7420 5101.

Kind regards,
