We invite you to gather with colleagues along University Place and on the Front Lawns of the Quadrangle for a light, healthy breakfast with beverages and exercise classes in the Great Hall. The University's health and wellbeing services will be on site for a chat, and our crowd-favourite fitness classes will once again be held in the Great Hall.

Important information regarding a cyber incident

Last week we were alerted to suspicious activity in our online IT code library. We took immediate action to protect our systems and community by blocking the unauthorised access and securing the environment. We have published information about support for our community and answers to frequently asked questions on our website.

Direct support is available following incident at Bondi

In addition to our standard staff counselling and coaching services available to staff and family, a direct support line has been activated for staff seeking counselling support related to the incident in Bondi, available on Monday 15 - Friday 19 December between 9am-5pm. To access this support, please call 1300 687 327, press option 1 and reference the code CP-21717.

The Customer Service representative will directly transfer the call through to the clinician supporting this matter. If the counsellor is busy at the time of the call, the staff member will either be routed to another counsellor, or a call back will be arranged when next available. We have ensured expert, experienced counsellors are here to support our community during this distressing time.

Viva Engage seasonal break announcement

As we wrap up for the year, we want to inform you that Viva Engage will be taking a break from this afternoon, returning after the close down - as per last year.

The platform will be unavailable during this time to allow all colleagues a chance to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy the festive period. Recent news and updates will continue to be published on the Staff Intranet. 

We look forward to returning in the new year.  Wishing you all a safe and restful break! 

Stay safe during the University seasonal break.

Find out what services will be reduced or adjusted to align with scheduled activities for the colleagues undertaking important work to keep University operations going during the break.
