HDR Allowance Funding cannot be used for:

• Personal and/or living expenses incurred by HDR candidates

For ASSH, BAL and EIS HDR candidates, expending HDR Allowance Funding is initiated using the HDR Allowance Expenditure Request Form. Please download the PDF form, discuss with your supervisor, and complete all required sections on the form before making any purchases. SMAH HDR candidates should contact your supervisors for a separate process.

For step by step guide on the process, please visit How do I access HDR Allowance Funding?.

HDR candidates who require shared office space, laboratory access and access cards can submit a request by completing the HDR Space Allocation Request Form online.

Please discuss your request with your supervisor before submitting the form. The request will be sent to your Principal Supervisor for approval. Once approved, Infrastructure and Property Division will allocate space and access cards as appropriate. For lab access, candidates are required to complete a lab induction and obtain approval from the lab owner.
