Security escorts

We want to ensure your safety at all times. We understand that due to particular study needs, you might need to travel to and from campus during the evenings.

We strongly recommend walking with company, especially at night. When friends aren’t available, our Security Pedestrian Escort Service can escort you to your car, other parts of campus or to student housing villages.

This service can be accessed by calling +61 8 9266 4444. Please note that you may have to wait 10-15 minutes before a Safer Community Team officer is available to escort you, so please try to plan your request.

Queer Department

The Guild’s Queer Department is an invaluable service for any Curtin student who identifies as sexually or gender diverse. It provides support, advocacy and a safe space for queer-identifying students and allies.
