RESIDENT ASSISTANTS

The Residential Programs Team is led by the Village Director, and consists of a number of Resident Assistants. All of the Resident Assistants live in the Village and are students of Macquarie University.

The team is in the Village to support residents and to provide opportunities for residents to interact with each other and the broader community. The Resident Assistants are trained in conflict resolution, first aid, and a range of other areas relating to running the Village and assisting residents.

The team organise a range of social, sporting, cultural and community service related activities. The members of the team have a more serious side to them and play an important role in making sure that the Village operates smoothly and that a pleasant environment for all residents is maintained.

If you are having a great time and creating lots of noise late at night it will often be a Resident Assistant who comes to remind you that your neighbours may not be enjoying themselves as much as you! They are also there to provide assistance to residents who are experiencing difficulties and are in need of assistance. You can also just have a chat with them if you need talk anything through with someone.

The team also assist in developing policy and provide advice to the management of the Village.
