First Aid Tent
Red Medical is running the first aid tent, and is the appropriate point of contact for any situation that requires medical assistance or First Aid Support.
Support Space
The Support Space is staffed by ANUSA Staff who have the training to respond to and support students who are experiencing distress or a mental health crisis, but also for reports or disclosures of harassment and assault. If you are intending on referring or walking someone to the support space, please ask the person if they are able and happy to do so, or otherwise ascertain and appropriately respond to their needs.
Womens’ Space
The ANU Women's Department will be providing and managing an autonomous space for all attendees who are women identifying, women aligned or non binary. This space will be staffed by the Women’s Officer, Jin Law (0421 093 199) who is available throughout the night for any questions. The space is an alternative chill out zone and serves as a safe space for all female identifying and non binary students. There will be a variety of seating and activities available.

Sober Reps
Multiple sober reps from each college and hall at the ANU will be organised to be in attendance at Friday Night Party. Where relevant, these sober reps will also organise walking parties to and from the event. The primary function of sober reps will be to look out for and manage the wellbeing of the respective members of their college, in collaboration with all other safety mechanisms listed above. If you are from a residential hall, look out for those in your college merch!
