8 August 2021
Today, the
QLD Government announced that the mandatory lockdown of South East Queensland would end at
4pm today, Sunday 8 August 2021.
Pursuant to this directive, we are pleased to announce that all classes will be held on campus as scheduled from Monday 9 August; and that to ensure the continued safe and wellbeing of our community, the current COVIDSafe protocols that have been put in place over the last few weeks, will continue.
We look forward to welcoming the NYFA Australia Community back to campus.
New York Film Academy Australia ("NYFAA") is pleased to announce its successful return to on-campus learning. This was due to the Queensland Government’s easing of restrictions and NYFAA taking a proactive approach to managing the impacts of COVID-19 by implementing a COVID Safe Plan which is guided by the principle that the health and wellbeing of NYFAA's community members and the community at large is the highest priority.
Returning to Campus:
Film, Acting and Production Workshops have recommenced at NYFAA's Southport Campus and Village Roadshow Studios Campus. To ensure that students are not adversely affected by the implementation of any future COVID restrictions, our faculty have designed their courses to take advantage of the Zoom education platform.
Safety and Health Practices for On Campus programs:
NYFAA has implemented strict COVID Safe measures in accordance with evolving public health guidance and best practices for institutions of higher education. This includes increased hygiene practises; hospital grade disinfectant cleaning; additional safety, compliance and assurance measures; maintaining physical distancing; reconfiguration of classrooms; introducing COVID-19 risk management strategies; mandatory daily health check-in policies; and the wearing of face masks or coverings as and when recommended by Queensland Health.
NYFAA will make adjustments or additions to practices according to the current conditions of both campuses and as necessary for the well-being of the community.
NYFAA's COVID-19 Task Force continues to ensure that the latest recommendations and information from the
Department of Health as well as federal, state and local public health and education authorities, are quickly adopted and implemented by NYFAA.
