A selection of Australian Government registered non-compulsory uniforms is available for purchase through our approved suppliers.

ANU uniforms

There are a wide range of uniform options available using solid colours (patterned fabrics are not used). Uniforms are designed to work with ANU staff name badges to identify different work areas/Colleges and to allow for flexibility, should you change jobs/work areas.

If you must have your work area embroidered on your uniform for safety or security purposes, the text must be embroidered on the front right hand side of the chest in Helvetica Neue LT Std font and be smaller than the ANU logo on the left hand side. The text 'ANU' should not be used under any circumstances.

Compulsory safety clothing and footwear are not included in this range.

Instructions

To buy standard ANU staff uniform polo shirts and sleeveless jackets, go to Harry Hartog Booksellers in the Kambri Precinct. For all other uniform items, please contact one of the following approved suppliers. Let us know if you would like to deal with a different supplier as we can organise approval.

Tax

Fringe benefits tax (FBT) is not incurred by the University on registered uniforms. Please contact your College or Divisional Finance Officer for further information on meeting the University's obligations regarding FBT on uniforms.

For individual enquiries on claiming uniform-related tax deductions, please speak with the Australian Taxation Officer or your accountant.

Note: To ensure that non-compulsory uniforms are tax deductible, a requirement of the Approved Occupational Clothing Guidelines is that clothing should be worn as an entirety or set rather than as individual pieces (see Paragraph 9). The guidelines are summarised in this Fact Sheet.
