·¬ÇÑÉçÇø

·¬ÇÑÉçÇø has set up a ‘Safe Zone’ for students and staff on its Townsville campus, as part of a range of measures it’s introducing to prevent and address sexual assault and sexual harassment.

The room is a safe place for students and staff who might be waiting for a bus at night, or who feel uncomfortable or threatened.

The Safe Zone has couches and chairs and is adjacent to ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø’s Security control room in the Student Mall, and is overseen by security staff.

See map for the Safe Zone’s location:

Since 2016, ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø has partnered with other Australian universities in a national initiative lead by Universities Australia, the  campaign.

The campaign highlights the determination of Australia's universities to ensure students and staff are safe from sexual assault and sexual harassment.
