Security bus service

The University security bus service is provided for the safety and well being of the University community. When the Library is open in the evening, the bus departs every 30 minutes from the east side of the Library (patrons should wait in the Library foyer near the loans desk), commencing 6:00pm until 10:05pm and escorts staff and students to the academic buildings, car parks, colleges, the University Lodge, Language Centre, Barnes Way, Graduate House and the tram stop.

A security escort will leave University Lodge on an hourly basis from nightfall to 5:00am the following morning.

When the Library is closed and at weekends, an escort can be arranged by telephone (03) 9479 2012. Use only this extension so that emergency lines are kept free.

Escorts will not commence until after dark and cease at 5:30am. This service is provided for people who are alone and who feel their safety is at risk. Security staff may request students to present their student ID cards and escorts will never be provided for anyone who appears intoxicated or is consuming or carrying alcohol. The Melbourne (Bundoora) campus security unit is committed to the University community being able to traverse the campus with confidence.

Please note:

• Patrons are to remain seated at all times during the escort whilst the bus is in motion.
• Food and drinks are not permitted on the campus bus.
• The campus bus does not go to Waterdale Road, BM Guesthouse, La Trobe Secondary College, Metrofuel, or the football sheds.
• Security escorts are not provided for groups of 3 or more students between on-campus locations.

UNI-SAFE staff and student escorts

Security officers are available to escort students and staff after dark between buildings, campus car parks and local transport points. To arrange for this service please phone security on Melbourne (Bundoora) extension 2012. A number of buildings have direct security access phones. Lift the handset and the phone will automatically contact security.
