SoMS has an active H&S committee which meets four times a year. Committee member details can be found in the key contacts section and minutes are available below.

There are three levels of H&S committees. Issues raised at the SoMS H&S committee (level 3) may be escalated to the Medicine Faculty H&S committee (level 2) which may in turn escalate to the University H&S committee (level 1). Equally, matters discussed at the level 1 committee are cascaded to the level 2 and level 3 committees.

Medicine Faculty level 2 minutes
University level 1 minutes

How to resolve H&S issues

Step 1: Talk to your supervisor or manager.

Step 2: If not resolved, report the problem to an H&S Representative or H&S Officer who will have discussions with the relevant supervisor/manager.

Step 3: If not resolved, the Chairperson of the Level 3 H&S Committee can refer the issue to either the Medicine Level 2 H&S Committee or to the Level 1 H&S Committee if the issue has university–wide impact.

Step 4: If not resolved, the H&S Representative or Chairperson of the Level 3 H&S Committee can invite a WorkCover NSW inspector to attend the workplace to assist in the resolution of the issue.

Advice on H&S problem resolution should be sought from the Medicine Faculty H&S Coordinator. Managers and employees must work cooperatively to resolve H&S problems, and should notify the Medicine Faculty H&S Coordinator (Martina Lavin; m.lavin@unsw.edu.au) prior to requesting assistance from WorkCover NSW.
