Message from the Vice-Chancellor

 

Wuhan coronavirus
Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity this week became the world's first scientific lab outside China to copy the virus. The institute will share its discovery with the World Health Organisation in Europe, which will, in turn, share it with labs worldwide involved in the race to develop a vaccine.

Charles Darwin University is closely monitoring the growing outbreak of the coronavirus. Over the coming weeks, students and staff will begin returning to our campuses for the start of the 2020 academic year, so it’s timely to reinforce the precautions that need to be taken to ensure the health and wellbeing of our community.

Any members of the CDU community who are unwell or concerned about their health and possible virus symptoms should contact their GP or a health professional. We suggest you call ahead, explaining symptoms and recent travel history, rather than attending in person.

For more information students and staff based in Sydney can call 1300 066 055 and those located in the Northern Territory can call 8922 8044.

I will continue to update the CDU community as new information becomes available.

Professor Simon Maddocks
Vice-Chancellor and President

    The circular economy concept is often thought of as a model to eliminate waste and pollution but when applied thoughtfully, circular approaches can create jobs, strengthen local economies, improve public health and more, according to new research led by Charles Darwin University.
