Keep it Clean!

Deakin University employs cleaning staff to clean all apartments within the residences (once a week for studios and twice a week for shared apartments).

Throughout the period of occupancy the resident is responsible for maintaining their room at a standard of cleanliness and tidiness acceptable to the Campus Residence Manager.

In order to adhere to these health, hygiene and safety requirements, residents are NOT permitted to refuse the cleaners entering their apartment at any time—whether this be communicated verbally or with a sign on your door.

Apartments left in an unhygienic condition are a health and safety risk so the residences management team reserves the right to make any intervention deemed necessary to return a unit to an appropriate level of cleanliness.

Residents who have concerns with cleaning should contact the Residences Office.

Guest Policy A guest is defined as a person who is invited to stay in your room overnight once approval has been sought from the Residences office.

You must obtain approval for a guest by going to the reception desk and getting a Guest Pass form from reception.

The following restrictions on guests apply: 

A resident may apply to have one overnight guest three times a week



Any non-resident who is present without a guest pass after 11pm will be required to leave the residences and the resident responsible for that visitor will incur a $50 casual accommodation charge per person, per night.



All overnight guests must be registered with the administration office.



The guest is to stay in the room of the person who has signed them in, not just anywhere in the residences and not in the lounge or other common areas.



A particular guest may only stay in residences for three nights per week (beginning Monday and ending Sunday).



Residents are responsible for the proper conduct of their guests and accept financial responsibility should their guest damage residences or University property.



A ‘guest’ must be known to the resident.

Why have an overnight Guest Policy? 

Fire safety - in case of a fire we can track all potential occupants and to control the numbers who need access to fire safety exits in the case of an emergency



Security - any people staying on residences are known to at least one person who will take responsibility for their actions and can vouch for their movements.



Protect the privacy & comfort of residents - not everyone enjoys sharing their home with a, larger than necessary, group of people.
