Safe Spaces

Safe spaces are a place for students to relax, socialise and study in a welcoming and supportive environment. Find the women and queer rooms on campus.

Women’s rooms

Women’s rooms exist across all campuses and are a place for woman-identifying and gender diverse students to relax, socialise and study in a welcoming and supportive environment. These rooms feature health information, support services as well as pads, tampons and condoms. These are autonomous spaces where it is expected individuals utilising them do so in a respectful manner.

Queer rooms

Queer rooms are maintained at Burwood and Waurn Ponds campuses. These are welcoming, supportive, and semi-autonomous spaces for queer students; designed to foster a sense of community and provide vital information and resources relevant to their experiences. There is an expectation of respect, understanding, and confidence.
