Students in residential colleges
Students in Residential Accommodation are asked to ensure that they notify their Residential Advisor (RA) if they are unwell and believe they have contracted Human-Swine Influenza, or if they have been diagnosed with this illness. Arrangements will then be made to contain and manage the spread of further infection.
Students travelling overseas?
It is recommended that prior to travelling overseas you refer to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade "Smart Traveller" web site (http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/) for current Swine Flu information relevant to the country you are travelling to.
