Welcome from UWA’s new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Amit Chakma
Professor Amit Chakma joined UWA this week as our 19th Vice-Chancellor. In his welcome message to students and staff, he recognised the challenges we’ve faced over the past several months, our resilience in responding to the changes, and the dedication shown to our work and studies, all while supporting each other.
UWA still has all the support you may need – just online.
The University of Western Australia is closely monitoring developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to support its students, staff and the wider community.
You’ll find important information and updates for students regarding COVID-19 right here.
If you have a course-related question, get in touch with Student Central or your Student Advising Office by:
- emailing askUWA
- booking an online appointment with a Student Adviser

It’s important we all take good care our ourselves, our family and friends – we're in this together.
