Keeping our campuses COVID safe
Campuses are undergoing daily deep cleans of high-touch surfaces, we’re conducting regular touch-point cleaning on flat surfaces, and we’ve provided sanitation products for students to clean equipment before and after use. So next time you see our facilities or cleaning staff, say thanks for keeping us COVID safe.
Physical distancing on campus

Stay home if you’re unwell, keep 1.5 metres away from staff and other students (where practicable), limit gatherings outside of class, and consider using video chat apps such as Zoom for meetings or group work. Rembember to always practise good hand hygiene, sneeze or cough into your elbow and clean equipment after use with disinfectant.

 

Good hygiene during COVID-19

Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser if available, and avoid contact with anyone displaying cold or flu-like symptoms. Remember to always sneeze or cough into your elbow, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose, and get tested if you feel unwell or have even mild symptoms.

Campus etiquette during COVID-19

Stay home if you’re unwell, be considerate of other people’s space, follow the instructions of TAFE Queensland staff, limit your time on campus to reduce your risk, and say ‘thank you’ to our facilities and cleaning staff.
