Stop The Spread. Identify The Symptoms.
Helping to stop the spread of COVID-19 is something that we can all do. The Australian Government has developed this helpful infographic so you can understand and identify the symptoms of COVID-19.
If you become unwell and think you may have symptoms of COVID-19, seek medical attention. Call your local Medical Centre to book an appointment with a Doctor. Tell your Doctor about your symptoms, travel history and if you have had any recent contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the COVID-19.

At this time, there have been no identified staff or students COVID-19 cases at any AIT campuses.
AIT made the proactive decision to suspend face-to-face classes from Wednesday 18 - 22 March and commence online classes on Monday 23 March. This means that our campuses in Sydney and Melbourne are now closed until further notice. The decision about when our campuses will reopen and face-to-face classes will resume will be informed by advice from the Australian Government and Health Authorities.
From Wednesday 18 March the campuses will be indefinitely closed to students. We will continue to inform you of changes to campus accessibility as the situation changes. This decision will be informed by advice from the Australian Government and Health Authorities.
