Locker hire
Student lockers are available on a first come, first served basis for performance students. All student locker hire agreements will be processed on the following dates/times by program/major:
Program Date Time Location Classical Performance (plus other programs - Pop, etc) Thu 19 Feb 2026 10:00am to 1:00pm Madley Rehearsal Studio Jazz Performance (plus other programs - Pop, etc) Thu 19 Feb 2026 2:00pm to 5:00pm Madley Rehearsal Studio Please be patient as our student staff process your locker request, and the locker you are given is final and will not be negotiated.
Students must bring along their own padlock (we cannot give you a locker without one - drum students need two padlocks), and a completed locker booking form is also needed, if you can bring your completed form along with you the process will be even faster.
Locker hire payment of $40 is made via the Uni's online shop (we cannot accept cash or card payments). Showing your receipt on your phone screen is fine.
Lockers cannot be shared between students.
