Emergency and security
Security
Security officers are on campus day and night to help provide a safe and secure environment on all Federation campuses. They are all licensed and qualified in first aid. They provide a broad range of security and safety services, such as conducting patrols, providing security escorts on request, responding to incidents, securing buildings, etc.
Feel free to contact security officers any time on the numbers shown below if you feel unsafe, require an escort, wish to report an incident, or need security advice.
