Safety and security at Monash Residential Services
Alongside University Security Services, there are also dedicated MRS Security Officers on site each night at Clayton and Peninsula to assist all residents and to ensure safety and security.
Here are some of the other ways we keep everyone safe:
- Supporting Respect at Monash initiatives
- 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
- Security staff are based in or close to the residences, and on-campus Security Officers can escort you to your residence if you’re returning late at night
- Fire safety inductions and regular drills are conducted
- 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 needs of students living away from home
- Residential Support Team members have first-aid training and 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.
