We offer our support to those affected by the NSW floods

Another major flood event is impacting communities in New South Wales, particularly in the Hunter Valley, Central Coast and Greater Sydney areas. For some regions, this is the fourth flooding event they have faced in recent times.

As a University community, we stand together to recognise and support those residents who are affected by the devastation of this ongoing state of emergency and the resulting displacement.

We also say an enormous thank you to the brave emergency service workers and many volunteers who are risking their lives to protect people, homes and land.
