The Premier of Victoria, The Hon Daniel Andrews MP, has announced on Wednesday 7th July, the further easing of some COVID-19 related restrictions that will bring metropolitan Melbourne into line with regional Victoria.

From Thursday 8 July 2021:

·         Restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne will be brought into line with regional Victoria, which means all COVID-Safe settings will apply state-wide

·         Masks will continue to be required in indoor, public-facing settings unless an exemption applies, but will not be required at schools for students or staff, or at workplaces if you don’t interact with the public (for example if you work in an office).

·         Your teacher will advise what your training arrangements are and if you are required back on campus and when.

You must ensure that you check in each time you attend campus via the QR codes located at all major entrances. We are ensuring that all campuses are clean and hygienic but you must also be responsible for your own health. Be respectful of your classmates and teachers. Wash your hands properly, use hand sanitiser, and do not come to any campus if you are unwell. Practice social distancing and never cough or sneeze on another person.

Victorian TAFEs are not to reopen until next week, but there are some exceptions.

For Bendigo TAFE students

·        “Study from home if you can” is the Government directive, and the majority of our courses will do so.

·        Some courses fit the “authorised providers/workers” list provided by Government. Teachers will contact you directly if this applies. If you have not been contacted, you must continue to study from home.

·        Libraries and support staff will be on campus from tomorrow

Masks must be worn at all times, in all areas. If you are returning to any campus you must sign in using the QR code at the door and teaching staff will be reminding all students that this is mandatory.

We are ensuring that all campuses are clean and hygienic but you must also be responsible for your own health. Be respectful of your classmates and teachers.

Acting Premier The Hon James Merlino has today announced that the current COVID-19 restrictions will be extended for a further seven days for Greater Metropolitan Melbourne, while restrictions may ease for regional Victoria from this Friday, dependant on tracing and testing over the next 24 hours.

We are awaiting further guidance from the Department of Education and Training and once we have received the advice, we will work through what is permitted for both our metro and regional campuses, and we will let you know.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The government has announced a lockdown from midnight tonight.

This means all Bendigo TAFE campuses will be closed until next Friday 4 June and our courses will be taught remotely for the duration.

Any students needing clarification on what their course schedule will be in this timeframe are asked to make contact with your teacher or trainer.

With five cases of community transmission of COVID-19 in Melbourne, new restrictions have been announced.

From 6pm tonight face masks must be worn indoors unless you have an exception. This applies to our Melbourne campuses for all staff and students. There are no changes to density limits for our campuses.

Read the latest updates on this official site.

Health authorities are urging people to be vigilant with hand hygiene, to use QR check-in codes at every location they go and to be tested if they have been at an exposure site.

These numerous exposure sites are in Bundoora, Brunswick, Reservoir, Maribyrnong and Epping in the time frame between last Wednesday 19 May to Sunday 23 May.

Please check the list at this official site and follow the instructions of health authorities. If you have been at these sites at these times you must not come to campus. You must get tested and isolate until your results come back.

Mask wearing remains mandatory on public transport and from today the Victoria Police will be patrolling and handing out masks to those who do not have them. Fines of $200 will be issued to those who refuse to wear masks.

Contact tracers are working hard to track the movements of the people currently affected, to make sure all potential exposure sites have been listed.

This is why signing in with the QR code at every campus entrance is critical. It means anyone who might be at risk of contracting COVID-19 can be alerted quickly, and therefore limits further spread of the infectious disease.

Please ensure you are signing in each time you enter one of our campuses, and encourage people around you do the same. It only takes a few seconds to do. This data is held by the Victorian Government, not by Bendigo TAFE, and it is only retained for 30 days.

Do not come to campus if you are unwell, always wash your hands properly, and never cough or sneeze without covering your mouth.
