Services

Equipment booking & hire

We loan out picnic rugs and eskis for student & club use! These can be booked via Resource Booker here.

We also hire out labcoats for daily or semesterly hire - no booking required! It's $5 for the day, or $30 ($10 hire fee + $20 deposit) for the semester.

Barbecues are no longer loaned out by UMSU, however you can make use of the free on-campus BBQs. Click here for information on BBQ hire.

JP (Justice of the Peace) Service

Anyone can make an appointment or drop-in to have documents certified for free by the Student Union’s Justice of the Peace who works from 8.30am – 2.30pm, Monday to Thursday. For drop-in appointments, we recommend coming after 12.30pm for the highest likelihood of our JP being available.

We are located at Level 1, Building 168 at the University of Melbourne. If you would like to make a booking you can do so either in-person, by phone at (03) 8344 6966, or via our contact form below.

Lost Property

Lost something? Good news - All lost property on campus comes to us (eventually)! Come in and ask or give us a ring on (03) 8344 6966 to enquire about something you can't find.

Please note: We are the final destination for all lost property on campus, but we are rarely the first - lost property from other buildings may take some time to arrive here. We recommend asking at the reception desk of the building that you left your item (or at the nearest library if there is no reception). If we don't have your item now, feel free to leave your details with us and/or check back in again in a week or two!

Sometimes security will pick up lost property, and they can also check security camera footage for you! Feel free to call their Grattan Street office for either service on 8344 4674.
