(i) It is endorsed by local management;
(ii) It does not interfere with work, or the work of anyone else; and
(ii) It does not involve unethical behaviour.’
In addition, Premier’s Circular 24/01 stipulates that mobile phones are provided for work related purposes, however there will be circumstances where private use is acceptable. However, mobile phones are not to be used for conducting private commercial activities, party political or campaigning purposes, or accessing fee incurring information services for unofficial or unnecessary purposes.

Detailed information on the usage of telephone facilities is retained by the Department and can be scrutinised at the direction of the Director General if necessary.
