Important information that you should read before travelling

The IT Service Delivery staff can offer support for mobile telephony that is purchased as part of the JCU Corporate Fleet with Telstra. Support is not offered for privately owned mobiles or work mobiles that are not purchased as part of the JCU Telstra Fleet. If you require assistance please log an IT service request through JCU Service Now or email ITHelpdesk@jcu.edu.au.

Contact ictoffice@jcu.edu.au for advice if you are having problems with equipment that is not working properly and is still under warranty.  Please ensure you have disabled the 'Find My Phone' feature before sending for repair.

Unfortunately, if you drop your phone and the screen cracks it will void the warranty. You will need to arrange to have the repair done through a local repairer.

If your handset is lost or stolen during business hours (8:30am to 5pm Monday to Friday) you should immediately contact the ICT Office by emailing ictoffice@jcu.edu.au or calling x14545 or x13637.

Outside business hours please call Telstra's Service Delivery Team directly on 1800 730 062, option 3, option 5 and they will place a block on the phone number.

Please email ictoffice@jcu.edu.au to cancel any services that are no longer required.

Staffing changes must be communicated to ICT by logging a job via ServiceNow, this includes:

  • Staff moving from one department to another - as these moves often involve a change of account code
  • Staff leaving JCU where service is no longer required
  • Staff leaving JCU and the device is going to be used by another staff member
  • Staff leaving JCU who wish to transfer their mobile service number to a private account

If ICT are not advised of the charges the mobile service will remain active and the monthly charges will continue.

If you are leaving JCU and intend taking your mobile phone number with you, email ictoffice@jcu.edu.au for advice. ICT will provide the necessary paperwork that will allow you to transfer your mobile number off the JCU Corporate Account.

Any unused or broken devices can be taken to your own Departments eWaste recycling bin or the Estate Office for recycling.
