How to Find Official Information and the Privacy Statement on the Griffith University Website

Updated

Griffith University's official website is griffith.edu.au. The privacy statement is published under the university's corporate governance and publications section, at griffith.edu.au/about-griffith/corporate-governance/plans-publications/griffith-university-privacy-statement. Use that page when you need the university's own statement on how it handles personal information; use the homepage when you need general information about the university, its campuses, or its rankings.

Finding the Privacy Statement

The privacy statement sits inside a nested path rather than at the top level of the site, which is why it can be hard to locate by browsing alone.

  • Direct URL: https://www.griffith.edu.au/about-griffith/corporate-governance/plans-publications/griffith-university-privacy-statement
  • Browsing path implied by the URL: About Griffith → Corporate Governance → Plans & Publications → Privacy Statement
  • Expected result: A page stating Griffith University's privacy position, published as part of its governance and public documents.

If you reach a page with a different title or a redirect, check that the domain is still griffith.edu.au before treating the content as official.

Finding Other Official Information

Griffith describes itself as ranking in the top 2 percent of universities globally, with 50,000 students across six campuses in South East Queensland, Australia. Those figures come from the university's own site, so the homepage and the "About Griffith" section are the right starting points for institutional facts.

For anything in the governance and public-documents category — policies, plans, publications, and the privacy statement — the same about-griffith/corporate-governance/plans-publications/ branch of the site is the consistent location.

Checking That a Source Is Official

Check What to look for
Domain griffith.edu.au (including www.griffith.edu.au)
Section Governance, plans, or publications pages for policy-type documents
Consistency The page matches the university's own description of itself

Third-party sites may repeat Griffith's ranking or student numbers, but only pages on griffith.edu.au carry the university's own wording. When a detail matters — a policy, a statement, an official figure — go back to the source page rather than a summary of it.

Common Sticking Points

  • Deep links change. Governance pages are sometimes reorganised, so a saved URL may stop working. If that happens, start from the homepage and follow the About Griffith → Corporate Governance path.
  • Search engines surface older copies. A cached or mirrored version of a policy page may not reflect the current statement. Confirm on the live griffith.edu.au page.
  • The privacy statement is not a general contact page. It explains the university's privacy position; it is not the place to submit a request or complaint unless the page itself says so.
