Search Tips
To search this directory, simply
enter the applicable information in one or more of the data entry fields provided.
Example: You may enter their last name and first name or only their last name. If you
wish, you may select the name of a Department from the drop-down list or leave the default
to search the entire directory. To complete the operation, click on the Search button.
This will return a list of all individuals matching the criteria you entered. Once you
have located the individual you are looking for, you can click on their name and this will
provide you with additional details (if available) on that individual.
Please note:
- There are NO wildcard characters. The search is designed to
search on whatever you type in and compare it to the information in the system. Thus, if
you type in 'Smith' you will get a list of all the Smith's, but if you type in 'S', you
would get a list of all the names starting with S (i.e. Smith, Spears, Simpson, etc.)
- The search is not case sensitive. The search will return all entries matching your search
criteria.
- Results will be returned in groups of 10 per page. In the event that more than
10 entries match your search criteria, if the individual you are searching for doesn't
appear on the first page, simply go to the following page until you find their listing.
- To start a new search, simply click on the Home link in the left hand border.
Organizational Structure
It is also possible to search a Department's organizational structure by selecting a Department form the Department drop down list. This will automatically load the Division drop down with the list of Divisions that belong to the specific Department. From there a complete list of contacts belonging to the Department can be returned by selecting search or the search can be further refined by entering additional search criteria such as last name, title etc.

What's in this directory?
The On-Line Government Telephone Directory is a service provided by the Planning and Accommodations Division
of the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure which is responsible for the provision of telecommunications services and
the publication of this directory.
It has been developed to help you contact the proper government employees more efficiently by
providing you with a searchable directory of their contact information.
This directory contains telephone, title, postal address,
and other public information related to government employees.
There is also a Government Frequently called numbers page.

Why Can't I find xyz?
In order to ensure that those employees that require privacy
can maintain it, this directory will only list information that is known to be already
published. This will be the case until such time as the mechanisms are in place and
consent is given to provide additional information.
You may also experience problems if you do not have an updated version of an Internet Web
Browser (see item # 3 below).
