Off Campus Security Escort :

Murdoch University South Street campus in conjunction with the Guild of Students is proud to announce the introduction of the Off Campus Escort Service from 30 August.

Operating from 5pm until midnight on each weekday during semester teaching weeks and pre-exam study breaks, the service is the only one of its kind at a Western Australian university providing secure mobile off campus escorts for both students and staff.

Escorts are provided for personal security purposes and may include those to and from car parks, student accommodation or to surrounding suburbs incorporating the boundaries of Northlake Road, Kwinana Freeway, Somerville Boulevard and Hope Road.

This service is designed to complement the existing on campus escort service that operates each night of the year.

Proudly sponsored by Unicredit, the escort vehicle is recognisable by its decals and Student Security Helpers who will drive the vehicle, are identifiable by their yellow coloured jumpers or shirts.

The Off Campus Escort Service can be requested by either telephone 93606262 or via the wall-mounted Security Call Buttons.
