Personal Details Changes

Where a staff member changes her/his name she/he should advise their principal or workplace manager so that accurate employee records can be maintained.

A staff member may change their name as the result of:

  • Marriage, and subsequent adoption of the spouse's surname, or divorce and reversion to a former name;
  • Change of name by registration of change of name;
  • The need to correct an error in the spelling of the staff member's name.

The staff member should provide evidence of their name change. A statutory declaration is acceptable evidence if other formal papers are not available.

For school staff, the name change should be entered on HRMS. For staff in non-school locations the details of the change should be forwarded to VPS HR Services using the form available under Procedures and Forms below.
