Sustainability Advocate Program
Staff and Student Sustainability Advocates play a key part in the University of Melbourne achieving a sustainable campus.

Sustainability Advocates are responsible for...
- actively promoting University of Melbourne Sustainability initiatives to staff/students
- maintaining own awareness about Sustainability issues around the University
- acting as a communication channel between staff/students and the Sustainability Team, so that we can develop initiatives and resolve concerns
- raising staff/students awareness about the impact of their workplace upon the environment
- providing staff/students with the tools to improve and minimise their environmental impact
- facilitating and supporting staff/students in creating their own Sustainable initiatives
