Latest update 

Students and staff are back on campus. Online options will continue to be available for students unable to return at this time. 

When on campus, please ensure that you follow the rules and guidance below to help keep our UNSW community safe:

• Do not come to campus if you have tested positive for COVID-19, have any respiratory symptoms or are unwell.
• We strongly encourage you to wear masks in indoor settings on campus, including in offices, classrooms, labs, communal spaces and especially where physical distancing cannot be maintained.
• In line with NSW Health guidance, the University has identified a set of high-risk activities where Safety Risk Assessments have deemed that masks should continue to be worn. These are situations where distancing cannot be maintained for extended periods including some labs, pracs, field trips and teaching environments. Your Faculty or Division will determine and communicate specific activities and classes where a face mask will be required.
• Many staff are now working in a flexible work pattern and we have curated a range of flexible work resources to help you and your team transition to a successful flexible working arrangement. These include a hybrid meetings best practice guide - for participants and convenors - to ensure hybrid meetings are successful for everyone involved. 
• Keep a safe distance from others, and if you can’t, we strongly recommend that you wear a good quality mask – N95, P2 or surgical mask.
• Wash or sanitise your hands regularly.
• Open windows to maximise air flow where possible.
• Regularly check our COVID-19 alerts page for updates on positive cases on campus.
• Notify us if you test positive for COVID-19 and have been on campus while infectious by completing the COVID-19 case notification form.
• Get your booster shot to help limit the spread of COVID-19.
