• Owing to the current lockdown all classes are currently conducted via online mode effective from 5th August, 2021. The college continues to monitor DHHS guidelines.
• We are also offering the option of online mode for students who feel more comfortable studying from home. Additionally, we provide the flexibility for students to undertake their studies in mixed delivery mode. This is a hybrid model of online and face to face delivery.
• Currently there is a requirement in place for masks to be worn both indoors and outdoors until further notice.
• Please be reminded of the requirement to check in to all buildings on La Trobe Campus utilising the QR code system. This requirement is being reinforced for all institutions and businesses.  QR code readers are displayed on the entrances to all buildings, including the Sylvia Walton Building (La Trobe College Australia building).

As the situation with COVID-19 evolves, we continue to take the necessary steps to protect the health and safety of our students, staff and wider La Trobe community.  The health, safety and wellbeing of our community remains our top priority.

Please help maintain a COVIDSafe environment for everyone by:

• Practicing good hand hygiene
• Practicing cough etiquette
• Maintaining appropriate physical distancing
• Signing in as required
• Wearing masks as directed
• Not attending the campus if you are feeling unwell

It is important that everyone keep themselves informed of the current government settings and follow public health directions at all times, by regularly checking the DHHS website: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-covidsafe-settings
