Heading to ECU? Whether it’s Joondalup, Mount Lawley, or the upcoming ECU City in the Perth CBD, your safety is top priority.

What does “safe” actually mean at ECU?

  • 24/7 Security On-Site
    ECU employs qualified security officers, stationed on campus around the clock to patrol, respond to emergencies, offer first aid, and accompany students between buildings.
  • Safety at Your Fingertips with NowForce
    Download the NowForce app for instant access to ECU Security: one tap brings help - whether it’s an SOS or to report an incident.
  • Security Phones in Strategic Spots
    Campus is dotted with easily identifiable security phones - inside and outside - so you can get direct help fast.
  • Emergency Response You Can Count On
    Ready evacuation plans, regular drills, and trained wardens ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.
  • More Than Just Security Guards
    ECU’s internal Safety Working Group continually evolves protocols to keep safety plans sharp, coordinated with WA Police, City of Perth, and Public Transport Authority to secure the urban precinct around City Campus.

What’s special at ECU City Campus?

Launching in 2026, ECU City brings its own layers of protection:

  • Swipe Card Access
    Public areas open Mon–Fri (8 AM–6 PM). After hours? Only access with your ECU swipe card - so no gate-crashers.
  • CCTV and Tech-Powered Oversight
    Expect modern surveillance systems throughout the building - step into a secure, smart campus from day one.
  • Collaborative Safety Setup
    ECU’s internal security teams join forces with local authorities - creating a safety net that covers both inside and outside the campus perimeter.

What you should know - and how you can help yourself and your mates

  • If you feel unsafe, call ECU Security on (08) 6304 3333, tap the NowForce app, or use emergency phones.
  • Want to report harassment or discrimination? ECU enforces zero tolerance and supports reporting via trained Contact Officers, online forms, and dedicated support teams.
  • Use campus resources - from personal safety guides to emergency protocols and mental health support, everything is built for your wellbeing.

Bottom line?

You’re covered - literally 24/7.
ECU is building a safe, tech-smart, and connected layered security system from Joondalup to the heart of Perth. Whether you’re stepping into ECU City or logging on for late-night study, support is always just a tap or call away.
