Keeping our Community COVID-Safe

Ormond College has a strong COVID-safe management plan in place to ensure the safety, health and welfare of our staff and students.

The College’s COVID-safe plan has been developed in consultation with infection control experts and guided by the latest government health advice. All staff and students are required to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, safety and hygiene measures, COVID testing, reporting and isolating protocols. The College continues to work with the Students’ Club and Middle Common Room to ensure student events are engaging and safe for the community, while Ormond will continue to support students with faceto-face tutorials, forums and consults where possible. We are fully prepared for any scenario that may eventuate with arrangements for onsite isolation facilities, in-room food services, back up kitchen and cleaning teams, online student support programs and staff trained to conduct regular wellbeing check-ins. In the event of a significant outbreak, we are fortunate to be able to draw on the support of the University of Melbourne and their Public Health Network.

We remain committed to continuing to provide an exceptional experience for our students. For the latest guidelines and advice please visit covid.ormond.unimelb.edu.au
