Security

You need authorisation to access buildings after hours.

Lost property

Contact the Lost Property Office (next to Flinders Connect on the Plaza) to check if your property has been handed in.

Call (08) 8201 5151 during business hours.

Stolen property

If you have had property stolen, advise the Security Office, and report the theft in person to the Sturt Police Station as soon as possible.

Prompt reports may help offenders to be identified, and help reduce future incidents.

Lock all doors and close all windows. Do not leave valuables in open view.

If you are going to stay on campus after dark, move your vehicle to a well-lit area of the car park, closer to your building, before it gets dark.

Call Security if you want them to escort you to your car after hours.

The security team can provide an escort service for the following scenarios:

• Safety (late night, concerns due to special circumstances)
• Security (cash carrying etc.)
• Mobility restrictions

Security escorts are available 24/7, however bookings will only be taken and actioned during business hours, Monday to Friday. If you need to create a booking after hours (e.g. you are on campus after 5pm and need a same day booking), please call Security on 8201 2880.

There may be times that the security team are responding to an emergency and may not be able to attend at the date and time you have requested. We will contact you if this is the case.

Due to our location we have a variety of wildlife on campus. Do not approach or attempt to touch any bird or animal. Sometimes koalas are thirsty in summer so it's okay to leave some water nearby for them to drink.

If you see a snake, back away quietly and contact Security to notify them of its location. Our security and grounds maintenance staff are trained in snake awareness and handling.

If you believe that an animal is injured or in need of assistance, on campus, please contact Miss Leslie Morrison, Animal Facilities Manager, Science and Engineering.
Alternatively, if the Animal Facilities Manager is unavailable, you may contact the University Veterinarian (who may be on campus). They will advise you how they will proceed, and if your further assistance is required.

If an animal requires veterinary attention, they will arrange for this.
