The Victorian Government announced that a seven-day lockdown will commence across Victoria from 8.00pm, Thursday 5 August until 8.00pm Thursday 12 August.

As a result, our campuses in Ballarat, Berwick, Gippsland and the Wimmera will close until Friday 13 August. Some limited practical activities will occur on campus. Students should check their emails and/or Moodle for specific advice.

Fed College will be open from Monday 9 August, in line with government advice.

Ballarat Tech School is closed until Friday 13 August.

The Brisbane Campus remains closed until Monday 9 August, in line with current Queensland Government restrictions.

All staff will work from home. All classes will return to remote learning, aside from some practical activities, based on government advice.

Updates via email, web and social media. Student support and services are still available over the phone and online if you need it. A range of Health and wellbeing resources are available online for staff.

Federation University’s on-campus Health Centres are also open if you have any general health issues. Do not attend the centres if you have any COVID-19 symptoms (cold, flu, cough, fever). You should instead get tested and isolate until you return a negative result and can phone for options to speak to a GP or nurse. Go to the health services page for information and contact details.
