ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF RURAL HEALTH
Welcome to the Department of Rural Health (DRH), The University of Melbourne’s centre of teaching,
research and community development in rural health.
The Department of Rural Health manages the University Department of Rural Health and the Rural
Clinical School which are two programs funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.
The DRH aims to increase the number of practitioners working in rural settings by providing education and training.
Through close relationships with local hospitals and other rural health services, the DRH shares resources and staff
to enable an integrated approach to rural health education and training in Victorian rural areas.
The DRH has four campuses – Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and Wangaratta - with multi-purpose facilities
comprising student residential accommodation, office and administration areas as well as conference rooms,
tutorial rooms, library, computers, a clinical skills laboratory and state-of-the-art audiovisual technology.
Clinical training locations include Benalla, Echuca and Yarrawonga.

LIVING TOGETHER
Coming to the Department of Rural Health may be
the first time some residents have lived away from
home in a group situation. Some pointers to making
this living arrangement work well for all include the
following:
• Respect your cohabitants by keeping common
areas clean and usable.
• Respect others in regards to acceptable noise
levels, and agreed-upon quiet times.
• You may want to identify some shared
commodities like laundry soap, milk, etc so
you can buy in bulk, and not have 10 bottles
of milk in the refrigerator.
• Pitch in your fair share of contribution to any
shared resources, for example you may want
to have a schedule for who buys milk each
week.
• Pitch in for your fair share of cleaning duties.
• It can be quite fun to have group meals
periodically, with one or more people
contributing to the preparation and clean up.
You may want a schedule for who cooks and
who cleans for group meals.
• Don’t leave personal items in group space.
• Remove laundry from machines promptly so
others can use the machines.
Living together well can be fun and you can make
lifelong friendships. It can also ease the stresses of
your demanding tertiary course and help you feel
more at home in your new environment.

will be expected to participate if present in the

cord has an overseas plug. Overseas plugs and overseas plugs used with adaptors do not meet Australian
standards and are not to be used in student
accommodation facilities. Some items with a transformer,
i.e. laptop computer, can be resolved by the purchase of an
inexpensive universal cable which plugs directly into the transformer and Australian wall socket.
How and when testing takes place: you will be
notified of the electrical testing date in advance and
asked to leave all personal electrical items out and
accessible on your desk/bed/floor for testing. (All testing
is undertaken by a University appointed electrician or
competent person.) It is the resident’s responsibility to
ensure that personal equipment is available for testing and
tagging on the testing date, or when requested to do so.
Z
26
All new or additional electrical items brought into the
residence during your stay must be declared to
administration for testing and tagging, which is in
accordance with University policy.
What happens if my electrical items fail the test: the
electrical tester will take any failed equipment to your
local campus reception. Failed electrical items will not
be returned to you whilst you remain a resident of the
University’s accommodation facility unless they are
repaired and pass testing. You may request that the
item be repaired & retested – this will be at your cost.
Alternatively, faulty items will be returned to you upon
checkout from the accommodation. Faulty equipment
is a safety risk to all residents and your cooperation
with these testing requirements is appreciated.

The University of Melbourne aspires to achieve the highest standards of sustainability from the way we care for our grounds, use our
water and build our buildings. We strive to discover healthier, more efficient, more sustainable ways to operate. New Sustainability
Targets were set for 2011-2015. These ambitious targets are central to the University’s commitment to sustainability. Targets are
proposed for reducing stationary energy use and related carbon emissions and for the reduction of water, waste and travel emissions.
•
To assist in achieving these targets the Department of Rural Health encourages all residents to turn off electrical appliances at the main
power source when not in use, switch off lights and heating/cooling when not required and reduce water consumption where possible.

INTRODUCTION
The University strives to ensure the health and safety
of its staff, students, contractors and visitors, and to
reduce its environmental impact, as far as is reasonably
practicable. All OHSE incidents that occur in the course
of University business including in its residences
must be reported. This is crucial to assist the University
to understand, investigate and manage risks to its
people, property and environment.
Some potentially high consequence OHSE
incidents require immediate notification by the
OHSE Unit to regulators such as WorkSafe Victoria.
Serious consequences may apply if this requirement is not met.
OHSE incidents include:
• Injuries or illnesses
• Incidents or near misses
• Property loss or damage
• Environmental damage
See website for more information:
http://safety.unimelb.edu.au/
KEY REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
The Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic)
requires employers to, so far as reasonably
practicable, to provide a safe workplace. The Accident
Compensation Act 1985 (Vic) requires employees to
report work-related injuries and illnesses to an employer,
and for the employer to maintain a register of injuries.
INCIDENT REPORTING
https://policy.unimelb.edu.au/MPF1206
Staff, students, contractors and visitors are required to
report any OHSE incident and/or hazard to their local
supervisor or the manager of the work area as soon as
reasonably practicable. The incident should bereported:
•
•
Via Themis OHSE Incident Reporting, for those
who have access to Themis; or
A hard-copy Incident Report (S3 Form).
High consequence incidents should be reported
immediately, and other incidents should be reported
within 24 hours of becoming aware of the incident,
injury or illness. For more information about high
consequence incidents, http://safety.unimelb.edu.au/
docs/Risk_Rating_Definitions_Reference.pdf
39
SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Incident reports are normally received by the reporter’s supervisor. The supervisor is required to acknowledge the
incident report. If the incident risk rating is medium, high or very high, then the supervisor must ensure that a formal
incident investigation is completed. This would normally be undertaken by an incident investigation team.
INCIDENT INVESTIGATION TEAMS REQUIREMENTS AND ESPONSIBILITIES
The Incident Investigation Team may include the
following participants:
• Local supervisor or manager (Team Leader)
• Persons involved in the incident and witnesses
• Health and Safety Representative (if reasonably
practicable)
• Local OHSE Practice Expert or local OHSE
Coordinator
The supervisor normally acts as the Team Leader.
At least one team member should be trained in
University of Melbourne Incident Investigation
methodology. The incident investigation team establishes
the facts of circumstances leading up to the incident,
during the incident and after the incident, by gathering
and considering information including identified hazards,
the effectiveness of the existing risk assessments and
risk controls. More detailed advice on what to investigate
is available on https://policy.unimelb.edu.au/MPF1206.
The Incident Investigation team must recommend
corrective actions to eliminate or reduce the risk of
reoccurrence of a similar incident so far as is reasonably
practicable. The Incident Investigation Team Leader
must provide a copy of the completed Incident
Investigation (S4) Form to the local OHSE Committee
and the local OHSE practice expert.
The supervisor is responsible for ensuring that
appropriate corrective actions are implemented or that
the recommended corrective actions are escalated to a
person responsible for implementation. The supervisor
is required to ensure that when corrective actions are
being implemented, the local personnel affected are
consulted about the corrective actions. The supervisor
is required to monitor progress of implementation of
corrective actions and record when implementation of
corrective actions is finalised.
OHSE COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
The Faculty OHSE Committee (or if applicable, the Local OHSE Committee) is required to review incident investigation reports submitted by Incident Investigation Team Leaders. The OHSE Committee is required to nominate
a person (usually the OHSE Practice Expert) to review and report back to the committee on the effectiveness of the
implemented control measures. Please contact your OHSE Practice Expert or Manager for further advice.
