Callers from outside the University will need to add a prefix to the extension number provided.
For extension 5xxxx, eg. 56789, add 336 = 336-56789
For extension 6xxxx, eg. 67890, add 334 = 334-67890
From outside Queensland
The prefix is 07 eg. 3365 6789 = 07 3365 6789
From outside Australia
The prefix is +61 7 eg. 3365 6789 = +61 7 3365 6789
