As part of the campus, MRS is supported by the University's security services, with security assistance on hand 24/7.

MRS is part of the University Respect Now Always initiative and mobile app.
Only residents have access to their hall (via proxy card or security key access)
All rooms have their own lock for added privacy
All halls and rooms have smoke alarms and fire-safety equipment which are checked regularly
We run fire safety inductions and regular drills
Our Residential Support Teams are made up of senior Monash University staff and student leaders who live in each hall to support each resident. They are trained to understand the special needs of younger students living away from home for the first time.
Residential Support Team members have first-aid training, mental health first-aid training and all are required to have a Working With Children Check.

A safe environment requires cooperation from everyone in the residential community, which is why our Conditions of Residency includes a number of security initiatives and responsibilities.

Peninsula Residential is known as the Peninsula Panthers.

Our colours are blue, green, and white. We stand strongly behind our flag, and we hold our head up proudly, wearing our colours on special occasions and to support our fellow residents at sporting events.
