Dear Lynda, The Australian legislative context maybe different but here is a link to our Animals on Campus Policy: http://policies.uws.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00018. It has a range of exemptions including assistance and therapy dogs, natural fauna, working dogs (ie farm dogs), security, defence force and police dogs when undertaking relevant work and controlled by a handler, and research and teaching animals. To give you a context we have a working farm, and extensive native bushland on some of our campuses.
Hope this is helpful.

This, of course, does not pertain to Service Animals - we have a separate policy for that. Does anyone have a stand-alone policy banning "non-service animals on campus" that they would be willing to share? Thank you, Lynda Lloyd, M.Ed., P.H.R.
