Students hosting visitors on campus

A visitor is any person attending an RMIT campus who does not have a current student or staff ID.

To ensure we are protecting the health and safety of our community, all students, staff and visitors will need to be double vaccinated against COVID-19 or hold a valid medical exemption to attend any RMIT campus or facility.

The vaccination requirement applies to any RMIT- related learning activities and includes both indoor and outdoor spaces on any RMIT campus or facility.

If you are student arranging to have a visitor on campus, you have certain responsibilities as the host of that visitor to ensure they have completed the necessary induction and sign-in process (outlined below).

Types of visitors hosted by students include: 

• non-RMIT members of student clubs
• non-RMIT participants in an on-campus sport or fitness activity
  
• participants in an assessment task, focus group or interview
• accessibility support provider (such as an Auslan interpreter) 

Before your visitor arrives

• Confirm the name and phone number of each visitor.
• Confirm the date and time for the visit – your visitor will need to adhere to this date and time – as well as the location where you will meet on campus.
• Send each visitor:
  • a confirmation email - including information about how to check-in, how to find their way around campus and other important safety information - here is a template confirmation email you can use
  • the Keeping RMIT COVIDSafe visitor information sheet.

Arriving on campus

When your visitor arrives on campus, they must meet you at one of the designated Security checkpoints located at:

• City Campus: Building 5, Building 8, Building 108
• City Campus, Carlton: Building 57, Building 78
• Bundoora Campus, Bundoora West: Building 210
• Brunswick Campus: Building 514 

They are required to use the QR code to check in and show their vaccination status to Security. They will then be permitted to accompany you onto campus.

Please ensure that they use the QR code to check in to every building they enter while on campus.

Meet your visitor at the agreed location and time.

Confirm your visitor has completed the necessary sign-in process.

Ensure your visitor has all the information they need to stay safe while on campus.

During the visit

All visitors on campus need to follow all RMIT safety protocols, including:

• the health and hygiene advice set out in the Keeping RMIT COVIDSafe visitor information sheet.
• any signage around campus.
• any directions from you (as their host), an RMIT COVID monitor, or RMIT security staff.

Incident reporting - confirmed or suspected COVID exposure

If a visitor notifies you of a confirmed or suspected exposure to COVID-19, you must contact RMIT Security immediately.
