SafeZone

The app makes it easier for you to contact the Security team and helps them to respond if you need assistance, by sending your name and location directly to the response team members.

Deakin University encourages students and staff to register for the free SafeZone app on their mobile device. The app for all Deakin University campuses and response from the Security team is free.

Deakin University's Security team monitors SafeZone 24 hours a day.

Downloading the SafeZone app

Download the free app directly from the SafeZone or click below for the Apple and Android links under Useful Links.

Registering for SafeZone

Please note that after downloading the SafeZone app, you must register for Deakin University's SafeZone or the Security team will not receive your alerts.

To register, click on the app icon after installing and select "Sign Up". Follow the prompts: you'll need to enter your Deakin University e-mail address, create a password and provide your name and mobile number.

Optionally, you can upload a face picture – this is helpful when the Security team receives your alert and needs to identify you.

Additional text fields give you the opportunity to include optional information that could help responders when they are coming to your assistance. These are free text fields where you can include your Office location, Medical conditions and Mobility/Access needs.
If you include this optional information, the officer responding to your call will know those details and be able to better plan the response.

Once you've submitted your registration form, you will receive an email from CriticalArc.com with a link that you must click to complete your registration. If you do not receive this email within a minute or two, check your spam folder.
