At ECU we want all of our students, including anyone who has moved here from another country or another state, to feel safe. That means free from harassment, discrimination or sexual assault.
This page contains important information about your safety on campus and how to report incidents.
If you've recently arrived in Perth to study, these guides also contain tips and information about how to stay safe in our community and on our fabulous beaches.
Important notes
Remember to keep your emergency contact details updated
Log into SIMO and look under Personal Details to find the Emergency Contacts section. This information will only be used in emergency situations, such as an accident, and will be treated with the strictest privacy.
Your emergency contact details will only be accessible to approved senior staff in Student Life who are authorised to act on behalf of the university in critical incidents.
Your safety on campus
To assist and protect our students, visitors and staff, our Security staff are available on-campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If for any reason you're concerned for your personal safety while on campus, please contact a Security Officer on (+61 8) 6304 3333, use the security telephones located around campus, or use NowForce, our new Security app.
The app works wherever you have a data connection. It allows our security people to respond if you’re on campus, or alert Police on your behalf if you're off-campus.
In an emergency, you should always call 000 to alert police and/or ambulance services.

If you're unable to access a building due to a faulty access card, you can contact ECU Security via a campus security telephone to request access to the building. When the Security Officer arrives, they'll ask to see your access card and student ID card.
You must be enrolled as an ECU student to use your building access card.
