Information on Coronavirus (COVID-19)

30 March 2020

During the rapidly evolving coronavirus situation, the health, safety and wellbeing of our students and staff is our priority. The University is taking necessary precautions to protect our community and while the University and NICM Health Research Institute (NICM HRI) remain open, a number of measures are being implemented to limit staff and student time on campus. For up-to-date information on these measures, visit News and Updates. The University and NICM HRI will continue to closely monitor Australian Government and health authority advice.

In regards to the Institute's clinical trials, all new recruitment is currently suspended. However, anyone interested in our current clinical trials are encouraged to contact the trial team to register their interest, check their suitability and be kept informed about when recruitment will reopen.
