Point of contact

If there are changes to your event, you must email these to buseco-30collins@monash.edu two (2) working days before your event start date in order for them to be actioned.
Last minute changes to set ups on the day is not something we're likely to be able to do due to staffing restrictions, so as long as all the requirements are in the calendar booking, they will be accommodated the day/night before the event is scheduled to take place.
The contact point is the event organiser. The escalation point for the event organiser is the BOS Officer. The event organiser can contact BOS Clayton and local/building issues can be referred to Security. Please ensure the event organiser has provided their mobile number in the booking form for the event team.
There is no permanent onsite MBUS staff presence at 30 Collins St. Your first point of contact is your BOS Officer 03 9903 1555 (Option 2). Note this is not available for weekend events. If you require urgent assistance you can see Monash Security on the ground floor or via phone on 03 9903 8255 / 0488400162.
