SafetyNet Upgrade!

SafetyNet underwent a significant upgrade in late 2025. Please bear with us as we iron out any issues with this completely new system. We are currently working with our vendor to correct several ongoing concerns raised by staff.

Please regularly check your SafetyNet Dashboard to see if you have any outstanding action items. 

You can find detailed User Guides at our SafetyNet Home Page.

You can find instructional videos at our WHS Intranet Page.

If you are still having trouble accessing or using SafetyNet, please contact the Wellbeing & Safety Unit at WHS-admin@uow.edu.au
