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! 

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.
