Staff News

Staff News is the University's primary channel for general communication with staff. Its purpose is to inform, engage, and promote content that is of interest to most staff across the University. 

Staff News is sent weekly to all staff (including casuals), titleholders, and HDR students.

Faculty communications

Faculty marketing spokes manage production and distribution of Faculty-specific staff newsletters and social media accounts. Communications of particular interest to staff within a Faculty should be directed to:

Social Media

The University of Adelaide's main social media channels are managed by the Marketing branch and includes customer service and managing brand reputation, as well as promotion. The primary audiences of these channels are broad and public. There are also a range of social media accounts managed by different divisions that target different audiences.

Student Communications

Several options are available for targeted communications to students. These include Student News and International student newsletters, direct email and other channels. The Adelaide Graduate Research School also has a newsletter for HDR students.
