Deakin’s COVIDSafe FAQs

UPDATE: 5 August 2020

With Victoria being declared a State of Disaster, Deakin campuses must continue to review and adjust our plans for on-campus activity based on evolving government advice and current restrictions. This advice will be effective immediately, adapting to the new Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne and Stage 3 restrictions in regional Victoria.

All classes and seminars will continue to be delivered online.

Effective Tuesday 3 August on-campus teaching at Burwood Campus will be restricted to exempt units in nursing and midwifery. Further information for those enrolled in impacted units will be provided next week (week commencing 10 August) with alterations communicated via your unit sites. For course advice contact Student Central.

Prioritised pracs and labs will continue as timetabled at Waurn Ponds, Waterfront and Warrnambool campuses. Updates to HDR student information can be found on the HDR FAQs.
