Public Health Campaigns

COVID-Safe Campaign: A Reminder to be Vigilant

A new campaign reminding Griffith staff, students and the wider community to practice COVID-safe behaviours was launched in 2021 across all campuses. The campaign was based around research showing that when those around you engage in COVID-safe behaviours, you are more likley to maintain these behaviours over time.
