Our campuses are now open and we can’t wait to welcome you!

With Victoria reaching the 90 percent double vaccination milestone for people aged 12 and over, most restrictions have been lifted. We’re very excited to announce our campuses are also now open.

We want Deakin to be the safest possible environment for study and work, which means ensuring all students, staff and visitors attending the campus are as close as possible to being fully vaccinated.

Our focus is on ensuring that life on campus returns as fully as possible from the beginning of 2022. Based on the Victorian COVIDSafe statewide settings, all public spaces are now open to staff, students and visitors who are fully vaccinated or hold a valid medical exemption. We strongly encourage you to get vaccinated.

What this means for Deakin campuses

The following timeline explains the staged approach we’re taking to opening our campuses for those who are fully vaccinated. We’ll also continue to implement all recommended measures to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission on campus, such as check-in across our campuses, mask-wearing during high-risk activities and where physical distancing cannot be maintained, and using hand sanitiser.
