The University of Western Australia is closely monitoring developments surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on the UWA community.

COVID-19 update: 25 January 2022

Masks are mandatory for Perth, Peel and Great Southern in all indoor public venues from 6pm, Sunday 16 January.

Staff, students and visitors must wear masks when indoors on UWA's Perth, Peel and Albany campuses, unless exemptions apply.

The University is proactively increasing measures to protect the health and safety of its staff, students, and visitors to its campuses as Western Australia prepares to open its borders and experiences increasing case numbers. From 7 February 2022, all staff, students and visitors will be required to show proof of full vaccination as a condition of entry to all our WA campus venues and facilities.

All staff and students already subject to State Government health directions must continue to comply with these.

We have developed a set of FAQs to answer further questions about access to campus.
