The health and safety of the AVID Australia community is the highest priority. Both AVID and VU are committed to protecting their community from the transmission of COVID-19 through a risk control framework. To this end, a formal COVID Safe Plan has been developed for the AVID Australia Summer Institute. We ask participants to take the time to read the COVID Safe Plan before attending Summer Institute.

It is essential that all event attendees, if they are feeling unwell and showing any signs of COVID-19 symptoms, do not attend Summer Institute.

Key Information
