Security

UniSafe escorts are employed by Security on campus to help people get from on area of the campus to the other after dark. Unfortunately though, many students have called on this service have had to wait up to an hour and a half for some one to come and collect them, in some cases the UniSafe escort hasn’t even shown up. Synergize believes that this is unacceptable and will lobby in order to make sure that this service is available for all students in an acceptable manner.

O-week has some of the highest rates of sexual assault during the entire year at ANU. Synergize’s social officer candidate, if elected, will work closely with security to ensure that O-week is safe and inclusive as possible.

Parking on campus is increasingly frustrating. Parking permits are expensive and it is virtually impossible to find a parking space and after hour breakings are unacceptable. Although we acknowledge ANU’s green policy of encouraging people to leave their cars at home this policy does not acknowledge the fact that students earn less than a quarter of what the average staff member does, or the fact that students have irregular hours.

Synergize would also encourage the implementation of flexible parking packages. These packages enable students to park on campus at a reduce rate on Mondays and Fridays and catch buses at an also reduced price for the other three days.
