Local Area EHS Contacts
Local area EHS contacts are a good first point of contact if you need to talk about EHS matters in your department, school or faculty. You can also contact the EHS Unit.
EHS Coordinators, Management Representatives and Staff Environment Advocates
The EHS Coordinators, Management Representatives and Staff Environment Advocates in your local area are listed below:
Each department, school or faculty has the opportunity to nominate EHS Coordinators, Management Representatives and Staff Environment Advocates. These roles perform EHS management activities in each local area. More information about what each role entails is available from EHS Manual 8.5.New. EHS Representation and EHS Committees and 6.2.2.New. Staff Responsibility for Environment, Health & Safety.
Please help us keep this list up to date by emailing ehs-info@unimelb.edu.au with any changes. A new edition of the list is published approximately monthly.
New EHS Coordinators and Staff Environment Advocates are placed on our mailing lists to receive notification of EHS matters of interest, and invited to the EHS Coordinators ' Forum or Staff Environment Advocates' Forum.
Elected Employee Health & Safety Representatives
The University's register of elected employee Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) by Designated Work Group (DWG) is below:
Employee Health & Safety Representatives are employees elected by members of a Designated Work Group to represent and safeguard their health and safety interests. HSRs have powers under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic). More information about HSRs is available from EHS Manual 8.5.New. EHS Representation and EHS Committees.
Please help us keep this list up to date by emailing ehs-info@unimelb.edu.au with any changes. A new edition of the list is published approximately monthly.
New HSRs are placed on our mailing list to receive notification about proposed changes to EHS policy and procedure available for consultation, and other EHS matters of interest.
The maintenance of this list is a legislatively mandated; therefore, local areas are asked to provide prompt and complete advice of any changes. For newly elected HSRs, the returning officer for the election should advise us of the new HSR's name, email address and date of election.
Please note that details of Designated Work Groups (including group name, extent of membership, number of HSRs, etc) have been determined by formal negotiation. If you wish to vary the DWG details for your area, you will need to engage in formal renegotiation - please refer to Guidance Material: How to Renegotiate Designated Work Groups.
