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 fully 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

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.
