COVID-19 Information (Update)

COVID-19 Information

The Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and has put measures in place to protect our staff, students and the community.

Travel and quarantine restrictions are in place in the ACT for people who have travelled to COVID-19 affected areas. These restrictions are law and must be followed by anyone who is in the ACT or entering the ACT.

Refer to the ACT COVID-19 Website for more details. The situation can change daily so please continually check the website for up to date information.

Stop the Spread


Check in on CIT Campuses is now compulsory

All staff, students and visitors are required to check in via the Check In CBR app each time they enter a CIT building. This is an ACT Government requirement as a safe and easy way to support contact tracing efforts. Posters with QR codes have been placed around every building on each campus.

You must check in every time you enter a different building on either Reid, Fyshwick or Bruce campus. If attending Gungahlin or Tuggeranong campuses, you only need to check in when entering the campus. You do not need to check out.

Be sure to download the Check In CBR app from www.covid19.act.gov.au/check-in-cbr

Please contact CITcovidenquiry@cit.edu.au if you have any questions or concerns about CIT’s COVID-19 response.
