Prace is committed to supporting our students and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under COVIDSafe restrictions, university, TAFE and adult education settings are now open. PRACE has a COVIDSafe plan in place that includes:

  • Students are seated 1.5 metres apart in classrooms and some training continues to be delivered online to reduce overall numbers at our training sites.
  • Density limits of one person per two square metres in common areas such as lunchrooms, foyers and reception.
  • Signage is displayed in public areas to indicate the maximum number of members of the public that may be present in the space at a single time.
  • Masks MUST BE worn while onsite.
  • Students attending by public transport must wear a mask while travelling to and from our training sites.

We wish to assure you that the safety of our community is our highest priority as we continue to navigate this unprecedented period. Our COVIDSafe plan will continue to be updated in accordance with any changes to restrictions in Victoria.
