community is reflected in UQ’s wide

kosher, halal, vegetarian, and organic
produce.

FEEL SAFE
You can feel safe on UQ campuses with
our 24-hour security patrols and UniSafe

UQ campuses are well lit and have security call
points in strategic locations: you can call an
emergency phone number any hour of the day
and a Security Officer will respond immediately.
Our UniSafe program offers:
– the UniSafe Escort service, at UQ St Lucia,
Ipswich and Gatton, where you can ask for
someone to accompany you while walking
to on-campus locations
– a Safety Bus service at UQ St Lucia (the
largest of the four campuses), which links
main buildings, colleges, carparks, and
public transport stops.
