The University thanks those residential students and Senior Residents who provided valuable insights into the requirements of our residential community. Through the survey and focus groups, the resident community has identified key issues and recommendations for improving the experience of ANU students' residents. Recommendations from the community include a variety of options for better training, process improvement and 24/7 support to residents. These insights have been communicated back to all residents. 

In light of these findings, the Residential Experience Division is considering options for after-hours staffing model that aligns with the training, skills and experience requirements highlighted by the residents. In coming months, the University will consider these options, in line with the Student Safety and Wellbeing Plan, and will invest and implement the solution that meets the ANU resident community requirements.  

Presently, the University has not made any final decisions on 24/7 staffing in the residences. Any proposed or implemented 24/7 staffing model within residences will not impact the value of SR scholarships in 2024.
