The federal government work and safety regulator Comcare has found Australian National University did not meet the requirements of work health and safety laws.
In September 2025, staff from the university's college of arts and social sciences stopped work because the organisation was deemed psychologically unsafe.
The main concerns arose from communications from the university about Renew ANU, specifically an email to staff which said there would be no more forced redundancies but this did not include staff from the college of arts.
