Health & Safety

Your safety is our number one priority. Use these resources to stay safe and protected while you are on campus.

ECU security

24/7 security for peace of mind

ECU Security can be called 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 6304-3333 (Dial 1 for the Joondalup or Joondalup Campus West or Dial 2 for Mount Lawley). If you are alone on campus or studying at the library after-hours, you can call Security to escort you to your car or the bus-stop.

If you are involved in any incident that threatens your safety or the safety of others, you can report criminal or illegal activity on campus via the ECU online incident report.

Report an incident.

All ECU buildings and grounds have state-of-the-art Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) for ECU Security to investigate incidents and where appropriate, assist the WA Police with investigations.

All ECU and ECC staff and students can download ECU’s free personal safety app (NowForce) with a direct line to ECU Security in the event of any danger. The SOS (panic) button can also be used off campus to notify ECU Security of your location and enable them to call emergency services on your behalf. 

Learn more about the NowForce app and how to register for it.
