Ambulance

How to call an Ambulance

  1. Call the ambulance on 0 – 000;
  2. Describe the problem. Tell them that Security will meet the ambulance at the Sturt Road entrance to the University;
  3. Call Security on 12880;
  4. Tell Security about the problem and that you have called an ambulance - so that they can meet the ambulance and escort them to the area as quickly as possible;
  5. Remain with the injured / ill person – or contact your local First Aider to assist until help arrives.

Security Assistance – Threatened? At Risk?

If you are in a situation where you feel at risk, or an incident occurs where you feel threatened, you may need to contact Security on 12880.

All Security staff members are trained in First Aid and Emergency Procedures, including strategies for interacting with people whose behaviour may be causing you concern.

Security staff can assist both staff and students 24 hours a day.

Response to a Critical Incident

The University has procedures for management of a ‘critical incident’ – that is, "an unexpected and emotionally demanding event, usually outside the normal range of experience of the people affected, which has the potential to cause on going distress in individuals directly and indirectly involved in the incident."
