Dear Students,

Welcome back from your holidays.

We moved into the new Labs in E5A Level 3 in time for teaching in Semester 2, this is thanks to the efforts of many staff . We now have the following facilities:

E5A310 - Special Technique Lab
E5A320 and E5A330 - Technique Labs
E5A340 - Xray Positioning Lab
E5A350 - Radiology Lab

We hope that the new space being larger and better equipped will make it easier to teach and learn in. We still have some tasks yet to be completed and ask for your patience with this.

We also need your cooperation in maintaining this space as a clean and safe environment. This is a joint responsibility - that of management, teaching staff and students. Please follow the "Teaching Lab Ground Rules" which are displayed on the door of every Lab. Care for the equipment and the space, do not litter and take all your belongings with you. Failure to follow these rules may result in disciplinary action.

As always we would like to hear from you on ways to improving our services - drop in to speak to us or Email us!

Executive Officer, Department of Chiropractic
