Campus security

The Campus Security team ensures a safe and secure environment for students and staff on campus.

We’re all responsible for security on campus. The Campus Security team ensures a safe and secure learning environment by monitoring activity on campus, keeping buildings and people secure and managing incidents. You need to play a part by staying vigilant, taking care with your property and reporting anything suspicious.

All three campuses have 24/7 security which includes CCTV cameras, night patrols and trained security staff on hand to attend and assist at all times.

Where staff, students, or members of the public have significantly breached University policy, failed to comply with a request made by the Vice-Chancellor, or endangered persons or property, they may be excluded, or trespassed, from the University precincts.

Taking care of your own security

There’s a lot you can do to keep yourself and your belongings safe on campus:

• Don’t leave your belongings unattended—there are lockers on campus you can hire for a small fee.
• Keep valuables out of view of others.
• If you have an office, keep it locked when you’re not there, even for a short time.
• Report suspicious behaviour or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
