Summary of Changes from Previous Version

Biosafety Policy provides a framework for the safety and security of all employees, contractors, volunteers and students when dealing with potentially hazardous biological material.

As a consequence of the approval of the VU Research Model, this Policy will be reviewed and may be changed to reflect the new approach to managing and supporting research and research training at Victoria University from 1 January 2018. This Policy review will be completed by December 2017. It is advisable to check with the Responsible Officer before using the current version of the Policy for 2018 matters.
