Injury Reporting

In the event of an injury or sudden illness the nearest Safety Officer needs to be contacted who will be able to assess the situation and provide first aid treatment.

If a Safety Officer is not available then the person should be brought to the Medical Centre if possible, or the Centre should be contacted on 6488 2118 or an ambulance called through the emergency number 6488 2222 for severe illness or injury.

If an incident or injury occurs at the University or during normal University activities, it must be reported to your School Safety Officer Rod Robinson on 6488 2372. If the incident occurs elsewhere, you should report it to the responsible person: Warden of a College, Manager of UWA Sports or Manager at the Sport Centre as appropriate.
