IMPORTANT: PLEASE SAVE a copy of your training certificates, as you will need these when applying for building access (step 5)

4. Face-to-face Inductions

Facility induction

A face-to-face induction (15 min) into the cytometry facility is usually performed with instrument training (see https://sydneycytometry.org.au/getting-started). However, users can request an induction to the facility separately, if required, by emailing info@sydneycytometry.org.au.

PC2 laboratory induction

You will also need to complete a PC2 face-to-face induction with the Level 5 Floor Manager. These can be booked in CareerPath (CPC Local Induction - Laboratory Level 5). Alternatively, you can contact the Level 5 floor manager to find out when the next available session is.

5. Access Approval Request

Once all inductions are complete, online access forms needs to be completed. These forms are available here - Card access to CPC facility.

• You need to attach your CareerPath certificates for the online inductions (general building induction and PC2 laboratory induction) — these can be attached by pressing the ‘plus’ button under ‘additional comments’.

Approval may take 24 hours for each area and supervisor (if all relevant information is accurately provided). Once approved, access will be loaded into the university cards or proximity cards. You will receive an email notifying you of approval.

Please note:

• Once approval email is received, please check to see that building access works in one business day.

• If it is unsuccessful, please let us know.

• All CPC external Cytometry Facility users need to arrange access with facility staff for each visit while waiting for access to be added to their card.
