SafeZone is the University’s safety app which can immediately connect to ACU Security or with emergency services when needed via your mobile phone. From this week, SafeZone can also help track the progress of the free shuttle bus services at Brisbane campuses. Bus-tracking is also available for Strathfield campus shuttle services. If you don’t already have SafeZone on your mobile phone, you are encouraged to download the SafeZone app to access its safety features and the new bus tracker.
