Changes to this list
Please help us keep this list up to date by emailing safety-info@unimelb.edu.au with any changes. A new edition of the list is published approximately quarterly.
New HSRs are placed on our mailing list to receive notification about proposed changes to EHS policy and procedure available for consultation, and other EHS matters of interest.
The maintenance of this list is a legislatively mandated; therefore, local areas are asked to provide prompt and complete advice of any changes. For newly elected HSRs, the returning officer for the election should advise us of the new HSR's name, email address and date of election.
