Message from the Chancellor

During these challenging times, I know that everyone within the ANU community is working hard to ensure that we can keep our students and staff safe and healthy and engaged in educational and academic endeavours.

It has been an immensely difficult start to the year, first with the devastating bushfires in our region, then the extreme weather events that caused significant damage to our campus, and now the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic with travel bans, social distancing and other regulatory measures imposed by the Federal and ACT governments.
