Report a safety concern
We’re always here to help
Please contact the Safer Community Team directly on +65 6593 8004 if you feel unsafe or observe an incident or behaviour that concerns you.
We aim to provide a safe and secure environment for the Curtin community. If you have any concerns about the safety and wellbeing of any member of our community, yourself or others, you can get help by advising our Safer Community Team.
The Safer Community Team is comprised of male and female staff who are trained to manage general safety issues and complex crisis issues such as physical and sexual assault. The team will offer immediate assistance in an emergency and ongoing safety and wellbeing support.
If you are not in immediate danger or have been physically or sexually assaulted in the past, the Safer Community Team can still help you get the right support, and formally report the incident if this is something you want to do.
Incidents or concerns you should report include:
- Threats of suicide or self-harm
- Threats of physical violence towards others
- Any alleged criminal acts including: all forms of assault (including emotional, physical and sexual), domestic violence, stalking
- Sexual harassment
- Mental Health concerns, which have an effect on students and/or staff of the university community

What happens after I make a report?
