In addition to responding to incidents or concerns, Curtin University’s Safer Community Team offer a range of services including:

  • 24/7 security presence and availability

Keep in direct contact with our Curtin Safer Community Team through SafeZone, a free smartphone app for all students, staff and visitors.
