Chief Wardens

This page contains a list of the current chief wardens for various buildings and areas on campus, and provides templates to support network operations.

The Chief Warden is responsible for overseeing the recruiting and managing the operation of a warden network.  In the event of an emergency, the chief warden is the individual responsible for coordinating the network's response efforts and communicating with emergency services. As such, the chief warden plays a critical role in maintaining the safety and security of the building and its occupants.

The HSW Team coordinates regular Chief Warden forums to support and better enable the Chief Wardens in their role.

Chief Wardens can update the Warden Register by submitting a register amendment request.  Where an area has a Chief Warden vacancy, staff who have an interest in the role can volunteer by contacting the HSW team.

Sheds, small buildings, or buildings with very limited numbers of occupants do not need a Chief Warden. The need is determined by the Director Health, Safety and Wellbeing based on their review of University Buildings. 

In some cases, the evacuation of buildings is managed by Security or in leased buildings by the external building management – in these cases there is no Chief Warden appointed by the University. In this situation, send changes/updates to warden details to emergmgt@adelaide.edu.au.

For any questions or concerns, please contact the HSW Team.

 

Chief warden allowance

In recognition of the responsibility of recruiting and managing the emergency response team for a major building, the Chief Warden is paid an allowance ($500 p.a. paid in fortnightly instalments).  The allowance is only paid where there is a sizeable network to coordinate as determined by the Director Health, Safety and Wellbeing.  All Chief Warden allowance payments must be authorised by the Director Health, Safety and Wellbeing.
