Insurance

  • Personal items - are your responsibility and are not insured by the University. Always carry your purse or wallet and keep your office door locked. In the event of items being stolen, report the theft immediately to Security (Extn.3336).
  • University items - are covered by insurance. Any damage/loss should be reported immediately to your supervisor.
  • Travel - When required to work at locations off-campus it is important to complete the appropriate forms prior to the travel. This is for Insurance coverage purposes for you and should be given to the Secretary for signing by the Head of School. Failure to do so and a resulting accident may leave you uncovered by Insurance!

All Student Association members are covered by Student Accident Insurance, 24 hours a day, 265 days a year1. The insurance covers all accidents that occur ON or OFF campus, but most importantly it covers non-Medicare medical expenses if your accident occurred during a University related activity or while you are driving to or from this activity. Please contact the Student Association if you need clarification of an Insurance issue or wish to make a claim.


Internet Access

As a student of the University of Tasmania, you will be provided with internet access and an email account through IT services (you will be informed of the procedure at enrolment). You may also wish to access the University facilities off-campus. Full student internet access to University facilities is provided by TasAccess. The IT Help Desk (in the Library) will provide you with the procedure and current costs associated with this service.
