Your private telephone

Each bedroom in each apartment has a private phone, there are no connection fees, or line rental and UniCentral provides free internal phone calls. This service is provided so as you have access to night time security, triple 000 Emergency Number, and of course your friends staying at UniCentral.

This means you can call others within the complex free of charge.   You can receive phone calls free of charge.

Phone calls made to outside numbers cost money, approximately .45cents for a local call.  You need to pre-pay for outside phone calls.  We suggest you purchase a credit of approximately $20.00, but this will vary dependent on your phone usage.  You will need a minimum of $10.00 balance at any time to make an international phone call or a call to a mobile phone.  When you run out of credit, the phone will not work.

Cleaning Assistance

Professional cleaning of the common areas of all UniCentral apartments takes place once every two weeks.  The cleaning roster is included in your resident handbook.  This service includes cleaning the hard surfaces, the common room floor, kitchen, laundry and outdoor areas of each townhouse.  UniCentral asks for your assistance in making it possible for the cleaning staff to undertake this necessary duty, by tidying common areas and moving personal items from common areas into your private bedrooms.  You need to make sure the dishes have been washed and put away, so the cleaner can clean the bench tops and stove.  Remember to put your rubbish out in the bins provided every day.

You will be expected to keep your common room tidy and clean at all other times.

We provide you with a mop, broom and vacuum cleaner for this purpose; we will also provide you with a new vacuum cleaner bag on request.
