Printer Access

To access CCHR printers, please contact our IT team to request support by emailing help@its.uq.edu.au. (Let them know that the printers are QH's printers, not UQ's)

Please note there is the option to set up confidential printing through the Multi-Function Devices in the CCHR.

Printing is currently not monitored but costs have been escalating recently. Please think of the trees and of our budgets! Consider printing in grayscale, setting to "locked print", or printing documents back-to-back to conserve paper wherever possible.

Overflow printing trays will be cleared every Friday so don't forget to check them.

Remember to contact reception if you change the toner in the printer so she can order more if required.

Meeting rooms and car parks for research participants and visitors are booked via a web-based Windows Outlook 365 application. Access to this system is currently restricted to key staff.

Rooms are booked on a ‘first in first served’ basis; however CCHR management will retain oversight to ensure equal and fair access to facilities, particularly those that are in high demand.
