UTS Security services

UTS is committed to providing a safe and healthy study environment for all UTS students. We have many services and a lot of advice specifically for your safety and wellbeing:

Security shuttle and campus escort service

UTS Security provides an after-hours escort service to escort UTS staff and students to UTS buildings, residences and transport hubs. Security staff are also available to escort members of the UTS community during daylight hours in case of injury or specific safety concerns.  You can contact UTS Security Control Room anytime by calling: 9514 1192.

Managing risks

As a student, there may potential risks faced in your study, in particular when using labs, or on field trips.  

It’s vital to adjust the ergonomic set-up of your computer workstation so you can work comfortably and safely. All students should ensure that they adjust their equipment to suit their needs. Regular, short stretch breaks are important ways of looking after your body at work. 

Acknowledgement of Country

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people, upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
