COVID-19 information for the Griffith community
The University continues to follow Government advice and health directions, partners and health experts to enable us to live and work with COVID-19.
What is open on campus?
Opening hours and availability of retail outlets and facilities may change daily due to COVID-19. For the current status of our facilities check the following links.
Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination or Testing Policy
As of 14 April 2022, the Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination or Testing Policy has been suspended. This is in response to the Queensland Government's easing of vaccine mandate requirements.
Please note that the policy may be reactivated if the health situation changes to make that appropriate.
Griffith encourages all staff and students to get vaccinated. Vaccinations are available at our Nathan and Gold Coast Health Services or from your local provider.
Check in Qld app
While we are no longer required to check in on campus, use of the Check In Qld app is required for businesses where vaccination is a condition of entry.
See information from the Queensland government.
