Who should I contact for technical support?

The technical support available depends on the type of problem.

 

HELP DESK:
Problems with education laboratory equipment, education email or education webpages can be directed to the ed-IT Help Desk:

Email: ed-IThelp@unimelb.edu.au
Phone: (03) 8344 8736
Fax: (03) 8344 8391
Or in person to:
        ed-IT Help Desk,
        Level 2 Doug McDonell Building.


The standard Help Desk times are:
9:00am - 8:00pm Monday - Thursday
9:00am - 6:00pm Friday &
12:00noon - 5:00pm Saturday
NB: These hours may be reduced during non-teaching times.
Please note: It is not the responsibility of the Help Desk to provide training in using applications. ITS run short courses on most common applications (some for free) and most programs now have built in tutorials and extensive help files. It is in you own interests to ensure you are able to use basic applications and The University has the expectation that students have this knowledge.

 

ReTS :: On-Line Request Tracking System
The Request Tracking System is designed to make it easier for staff to report problems with hardware, software, email or the like to the ed-IT Help Desk. You can register problems directly with the 'Log a New Request' page and follow their progress with the 'View Request Status' page.

This is the preferred method for staff to report problems.

Request Tracking System: Request Support or Report a Problem
