Staying in touch

How can I contact my child whilst on residence?

We provide students with a "wealth of information" when they arrive on residence, including an information sheet regarding their postal address and phone number.

Spare copies of this sheet are produced and handed to the resident on their day of arrival. It is then their responsibility to notify relevant parties or forward a copy of the information in the mail.

Due to privacy legislation, we are unable to disclose a student’s contact details to another person.

Should you need to forward postal items to your child prior to notification of their permanent address, please address it to them at the relevant Residences office

Who can I contact on-campus if I’m concerned about my child’s wellbeing?

Should you have any concerns regarding your child’s stay in residence, please contact staff at the Residences’ office who will direct you to the appropriate Manager or Residential Supervisor.

Often Residential Supervisors perform a range of other duties during the day, so please don’t be alarmed if you don’t receive a response to your enquiry until after hours.
