Keep an eye on our WHS What's On links at the bottom of this page for monthly events, webinars and activities.

WHS what's on

Throughout the year we will be promoting various events and activities in and around our campuses to promote wellbeing, and a healthy and safe workplace. If you have an event or activity that you wish to include on our WHS What's On page, please contact us via whs-admin@uow.edu.au
