Residency Agreement
Each applicant must complete an official application form including signed agreement
to abide by the terms and conditions of residency. The form is available from the RHAC
Reception.
Residential Student Advisors
Residential Student Advisors (RSA) are appointed and authorised by the RHAC to assist with
the day-to-day operation of residences and promote a collegial environment for students.
They provide out-of-hours assistance to residents (eg: lost keys, broken equipment) and are
informal mentors who provide advice and assistance on living harmoniously in residences,
and how to locate information and services. They may log matters arising out of hours, for
later referral to the RHAC Reception.
RSAs also act as building wardens and must undertake appropriate induction and training.
Please see the noticeboards in each Residence for RSA names and contact phone numbers.
Room Allocation
Rooms are allocated at the discretion of the RHAC. Every effort will be made to minimise
disruption for students who leave their clinical base for rotations elsewhere. All rooms
must be vacated at Semester breaks. If residents would like to stay at other times holiday
accommodation rates will apply from the end of each semester.
Room Inspection
The RHAC normally requires an inspection when the room is vacated, prior to reimbursement
of any bond paid. Residents are invited to be present when a room inspection is conducted.
Rotations
Students will be required to vacate their room when going on rotation or semester break. A
small amount of storage space is available at some locations during semester break. When
demand for accommodation from other students is high it is not possible to guarantee that
residents will be allocated their former room.
