The ACT Government made changes to COVID restrictions last week and we are updating our University guidelines where required. We'll continue to provide updates in future editions of On Campus and on the website.
While some restrictions may be relaxed in coming days, ANU will continue to require masks to be worn indoors under the current settings for the foreseeable future.
From today, collection of free RATs and masks is available from the Kambri location only until Monday 28February. Find out more
