Emergency contacts

Emergency situations may arise where we need to contact a family member or other person on your behalf. So that we have up to date contact information, you need to complete the Emergency Contact details on MyUni.

Please log in to MyUni and provide two complete contacts for emergency situations:

• click on the MyAdmin tab
• click on the Login to student administration text link
• in the On-Line Service Listing list, click on Emergency Contact Information
• click Add, add your emergency contact details (note the mandatory fields) and click save changes
• repeat the previous point for your second contact

Ideally, one contact should be your next of kin or another family member, but it is up to you to choose who the University should contact on your behalf in an emergency situation. Please update the information you provide if any changes occur.

While we are encouraging all students to provide emergency contact information, it is essential if you participate in field work, go on any excursions as part of your course requirements, or participate in a unit of study which includes an overseas trip.

It is also essential that you provide emergency contact information if you are an international student, as the University is required under the ESOS Act 2000 to obtain this information from you.

Please note that the University of Sydney abides by the Privacy Legislation and the contact details you provide us would only be used in emergency situations.
