The University strives to preserve the privacy of its staff and students, and maintain confidentiality of data and other information held by the University. The University also aims to protect its staff and students from unsolicited emails, and minimise staff and students being over-researched. The University therefore discourages the recruitment of its staff and students, and the collection of data and other information for research purposes, unless the nature of the research is beneficial to the University and/or its staff and students.
For permission to recruit/access UniSA staff, students or data for research purposes, including permission to send emails and/or display flyers/posters, please email the relevant person listed below. This can be done before or after final ethics approval is obtained.
