Incident or hazard reporting
The University of Melbourne and Melbourne Veterinary School share responsibility with placement providers and students themselves for ensuring student health and safety during approved placements. While we strive to prevent incidents, we acknowledge that they may still occur.
All incidents and near-misses (hazards) must be reported to the University. High-consequence incidents require immediate reporting by the student. Other incidents should be reported within 24 hours of becoming aware of the incident, injury, or illness.

Discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying
The University takes all allegations of discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying very seriously, as do many of our placement providers.
Our priority is to ensure our placement hosts maintain a safe work environment. This includes workplaces that are fair, inclusive and equitable, and devoid of bullying, abuse or hazardous behaviour.
If you witness or experience bullying, harassment or discrimination while on placement, you are encouraged to speak with your placement supervisor or course coordinator immediately.
Alternatively, support and advice is available through the University's Safer Community Program.
