IMPORTANT UPDATE – Friday 5 February 2021

Following the latest Post Lockdown Transition announcements and advice made by the WA State Government, NIT Australia has decided to resume on-campus face-to-face classes from Monday 8 Feb 2021.

NIT is vigilant and will take all precautionary measures to keep our students, staff and community safe. These measures include that all staff members, students and visitors are required to wear masks at NIT campus at all times. Trainers are permitted by the Government to remove their mask while delivering training to enable clear communication.

If any person (staff member, student or a visitor) refuses to wear a mask, that person will be asked to leave the campus premises.

NIT will keep on cautiously monitoring the conditions and the government advice. NIT may decide to move to online delivery mode if the Government imposes further lockdown, imposes stricter restrictions or there is a health and safety risk to NIT students and staff amidst COVID-19.

Be COVID-Safe at all times

All staff and students are advised to comply with all COVID-19 instructions including the ones listed below:

Wear a face mask at all times when at NIT campus.
Wash your hands often with soap and water.
Use sanitiser when you can’t use soap and water.
While sneezing or coughing, cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue and dispose of the used tissue immediately.
Try to stay 1.5 metres away from others, whenever possible.
Avoid physical greetings such as handshaking, hugs and kisses.
Get tested if you have symptoms.
