No extraneous waste in toilet please!

Please deposit any extraneous waste such as wrappers, plastics and used feminine hygiene products (tampons, sanitary pads, panty liners) in the bin provided. Wrap the waste in one of the disposal bags as appropriate.

If the bin is full then please advise staff or deposit contents in one of the wheelie bins at the front or rear of the building.

Outgoing phone calls are accessible only by phone

card.All accommodations are supplied with an NEC DBT-16D-1A handset connected to the Station’s Xen Alpha PABX system. Occupants should familiarise themselves with the operation of this handset for making internal calls through extensions 3-16 and external calls through pressing Line 1 or 2 when unlit. The handset can also be used to transfer calls between residences or locations and that function should be exercised when appropriate. The telephones in accommodations for visitors have restricted call access. Only 18xx or 13xx numbers will function and so the occupant requires a pre-paid calling card to make outside calls. The Station has a supply of $10-denomination Telstra Phone-away card which are available for purchase from the Director or nominee. Some calling cards use a 13xx number and thus appear to be cheaper than others because the connection fee is transferred to the owner of the landline. Occupants should note: 13xx numbers are not free but charged to the Station’s phone account at $0.25 per call. If you use a 13xx calling card you must record each use and submit the number of calls to the Director prior to departure for addition to your account. There is also limited CDMA/NextG reception outside the buildings.
