Enjoy four weeks of events to address and improve your wellbeing. 

It’s October already! At UNSW, the health, safety and wellbeing of our community are at the heart of all we do. Join UNSW Wellbeing and UNSW Health & Safety for a diverse program of staff events to address and improve your health, safety and wellbeing.  

Attend the launch of our safety motto video 

On 5 October, we’re launching our Think Safe, Be Safe, Home Safe video. This 3-minute video will inspire you to reflect on the importance of working safely. More than 100 UNSW staff from Kensington, Paddington and Canberra, including Vice-Chancellor Professor Attila Brungs, volunteered their time to demonstrate the sheer variety of work settings, work tasks, hazards and risks UNSW staff face every day. We’d like to thank everyone involved.  

Register to join the video’s premier screening at 10am in Council Chambers and look out for familiar faces in the video! 

The UNSW Amazing Race is back by popular demand 

Race against other UNSW teams of four in the UNSW Amazing Race. Follow clues and complete challenges on Kensington campus. Heats are being held on four dates in October, with prizes for the winners of each heat. Winning teams will compete in the final in early November. Find out more and register now.  

Receive personal nutrition advice
