Helping to stop the spread of COVID-19 is something that we can all do. The Australian Government has developed this helpful infographic so you can understand and identify the symptoms of COVID-19.
If you become unwell and think you may have symptoms of COVID-19, seek medical attention. Call your local Medical Centre to book an appointment with a Doctor. Tell your Doctor about your symptoms, travel history and if you have had any recent contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the COVID-19.
For more information on COVID-19, contact your state public health agency:
For practical tips on how you can stop the spread and stay healthy, watch this helpful video from the Australian Government.
Please find below important information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, our campus operations and class delivery. If you have any further questions, please contact your Student Services team.
If you have arrived in Australia from midnight 15 March 2020, you must self-isolate for 14 days.
If you have been in contact with a person with a confirmed coronavirus infection while they were infectious, you must self-isolate for 14 days from the date of last contact with that person.
You should restrict activities outside your home, except for seeking medical care. You should not go to work, school, or public areas. You should not use public transportation, taxis or ride-sharing services.
When in self-isolation, you should monitor yourself for symptoms. Watch for:
• fever
• cough
• shortness of breath (difficulty breathing)
• other early symptoms (chills, body aches, sore throat, headache and runny nose, muscle pain or diarrhoea).
If you develop symptoms and it is a medical emergency (e.g. shortness of breath at rest or difficulty breathing) you should call 000. Alert ambulance staff of your travel/contact history.

We encourage you to contact Greenwich Student Services to discuss what options are available for you to defer your studies.
If you require additional time to complete your studies (beyond your visa expiry date) you will need to apply for a new student visa with a new Confirmation of Enrolment. Contact Greenwich Student Services for further details.
Across our campuses, Greenwich has distributed information on how you can reduce your exposure to illness. Additional anti-bacterial hand gel dispensers have been placed strategically around the campuses.
All Greenwich College campuses will close at 3:30pm on Tuesday, 17th March 2020.
Classes will move to 100% online delivery from Monday, 23rd March. Students will be individually contacted to explain how to access online course delivery.
Greenwich College campuses will re-open on Monday, 6th April, unless we are directed otherwise by the Australian Government.
Student attendance will not be recorded for the weeks affected by the campus closures. However, students are expected to attend their online classes to maintain their academic progress and comply with visa requirements.
