Feedback and Issue Resolution

On this page:


Introduction

The University of Melbourne is committed to providing a safe and healthy working and learning environment for all staff, contractors, students and visitors, and to ensuring its operations do not impact unreasonably on external stakeholders. However, from time to time, internal or external stakeholders may raise concerns or complaints about health & safety matters arising from the University's operations.

The processes detailed on this page are intended to ensure that health & safety feedback is directed to an appropriate recipient and responded to promptly, transparently and effectively.
