The University’s motor vehicle fleet is managed by the Supply Group and must be operated in accordance with the University’s Motor Vehicles Operational Policy and procedure.
All staff using, administering and/or responsible for a University vehicle should make themselves familiar with the responsibilities and conditions incorporated in the motor vehicle policy document.
The University's fleet of vehicles are separated into the following categories:-
Every University vehicle is provided with a fuel card. The University currently has a contract with Shell Company of Australia for the provision of fuel cards. Vehicles must be refuelled at a Shell service centres. The cost of the fuel/oil is automatically debited to Deakin University and charged to the relevant budget centre by journal download. Odometer readings must be given when presenting the fuel card for payment.
Most University vehicles are provided with eTags. When using a toll road, the eTag will beep each time the vehicle passes a sensor. Charges are automatically recorded and debited to the University’s Citylink account. Individual vehicle charges are journalled to budget centres on a monthly basis. If the eTag does not beep when the vehicle passes a sensor, please contact the Fleet Management area immediately.
