Updates and services

In response to TEQSA guidance encouraging universities to strengthen how they manage risks to student and staff safety and wellbeing

This includes potential risks associated with people from outside our university community accessing our campuses. In that regard, we are consulting with our staff and students on a new draft Video Surveillance Policy. The draft policy would replace our current CCTV procedures and proposes the introduction of body-worn cameras. Body-worn cameras help provide an accurate record of incidents and responses, support transparency and safety. The cameras would only be used when appropriate and in line with our legal and privacy requirements, and any footage collected would be securely managed and handled in accordance with relevant legislation and our University policies. You can find more information about the draft policy and the use of these cameras, including frequently asked questions, on the University’s Policy register page. Consultation closes midnight Friday 16 October.

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.
