How to get help at UTS

Support is available to UTS staff, students and the wider community.

For immediate help

If you or another person on campus needs immediate help contact UTS Security by dialling 1800 249 559 from your mobile or any phone (or 6 from campus phones) or call triple 0 (000).  

If you are worried that you or another person may be experiencing modern slavery

Call Anti-Slavery Australia at UTS on 02 9514 8115 or email at ModernSlaveryReporting@uts.edu.au

Anti-Slavery Australia provides free and confidential legal and migration advice to anyone in modern slavery, including staff and students. They can arrange for an interpreter if you need one.

Students can also contact the UTS Counselling Service on 02 9514 1177 or via email.

Staff can also contact the Employee Assistance Program for free, confidential counselling support (link opens in StaffConnect).

External help

You can also call the Australian Federal Police on 131 237 or lodge a report through their website www.afp.gov.au.

Please note that modern slavery involves serious exploitation and does not include practices like substandard working conditions or underpayment of workers, although these practices are also illegal and harmful. UTS students can seek free and confidential legal advice about working conditions from the Student Legal Service. UTS staff and other members of the community can get more information about workplace rights in Australia by visiting the Australian Government Fair Work Ombudsman.
