The staff contact directory allows you to self-manage your ‘profile’ details.
Whether you are an academic or administrative staff member, you can tell your colleagues and peers who you are and what you do.
In your Staff Profile, there are more than 20 key areas of information that you can update, including your background, the languages in which you are proficient, and a link to your Socrates profile. It is recommended at a minimum that you include your photo and biography.
The UWA Contact Directory is a large database that includes staff profiles for all staff at UWA. It updated over-night. This means that if you update your details on, say, a Monday, they are not visible until Tuesday.
If you have any problems and your new information has not been included, email the Publications Unit and they will be happy to assist you.
