Yabun Festival is the largest one-day gathering and recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures in Australia, held annually on 26 January.
Join the Vice-Chancellor and University Executive for a light, healthy breakfast on University Place, with coffee carts and drinks provided. Exercise classes, including Body Balance and Yoga, will be hosted in the Great Hall (registration required). Sustainability is a focus—bring your own cup, or use edible or gluten-free options.
Join the Vice-Chancellor and University Executive for the Westmead Staff Welcome Breakfast, a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues after the holiday break. We invite you to the Innovation Centre on Level 5 to enjoy a healthy breakfast, tea, and coffee. The event will also feature an optional tour of the Clinical Simulation space.
Following the severe wet weather and ongoing conditions, we are actively responding to several impacts across campus locations. Our teams, including cleaners, plumbers, fire protection specialists and electricians, are on site addressing these issues to ensure safety and minimise disruption. Please exercise caution, follow all safety protocols, and report any new impacts or concerns.
Services are gradually being restored to the rail network in Sydney following the disruption caused by the industrial dispute between Sydney Trains and rail unions. While services are being restored, please expect ongoing delays and continue to plan ahead and discuss with your manager best arrangements to mitigate the impact and stay safe as the rail network recovers. This could take the form of working remotely where practicable, or other flexible work arrangements.
With local area budgets not confirmed for some areas until later than usual last year due to the uncertainty created by proposed government legislation, some staff were impacted by contract change processing delays that subsequently affected their pay. The majority of these underpayments have been resolved in the 9 January pay run, however, if you have any questions or concerns about your pay, please raise a query in the Services Portal.
We acknowledge the tradition of custodianship and law of the Country on which the University of Sydney campuses stand. We pay our respects to those who have cared and continue to care for Country.
