The VC says wearing is mainly up to them

In a message to students late yesterday Mark Scott advised that as of Friday masks will not be mandatory “in most settings.”

But they will be required in “clinical settings, laboratories, workshops” and anywhere else specified under state government rules and uni policy.

And the university encourages their use in classrooms, “particularly when physical distancing cannot be maintained.”

However “masks may continue to be worn by students and staff as a personal preference in areas where they are not required,” which is magnanimous of Professor Scott.

As for classes, with some exceptions  “there are no capacity limits” which is in-line with “eased” government restrictions.
