The UniSafe service helps students travel safely around campus after dark (6pm–6am). Whether you’re heading to a building, car park, on‑campus accommodation or to nearby public transport, the Security team can accompany you on foot or by vehicle through this service.
Your safety matters at La Trobe
In 2024, Uni Safe was used more than 45,000 times by those studying or working at La Trobe. Approximately 95% of requests came from students at the Melbourne Campus, particularly those who live on campus.
About the new UniSafe app
The new UniSafe app is available for use at the Melbourne Campus. It includes some exciting features to make the service easier to use:
- Book a UniSafe trip up to one hour in advance
- See how far away your UniSafe vehicle is
- Choose from designated and clearly marked pick‑up and drop‑off points across campus, as well as nearby transport hubs including Reservoir Station (Mernda Line) and Macleod Station (Hurstbridge Line).
- Rate your trip and help improve the service
Already more than 4,800 escorts have been completed since the UniSafe app launched at the start of Semester 1. For those who regularly use Reservoir Station for pick-up or drop-off, please note the designated point has moved to the car park on the eastern (High Street) side of the station.
If you prefer, you can still request for the UniSafe service by calling (03) 9479 2222. This number also continues to support UniSafe services at Albury-Wodonga and Bendigo Campuses.
