Abstract	Despite the absence of experimental evidence, weak scale supersymmetry remains one of the best motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. From strongly produced initial states, SUSY phenomenology offers a rich array of observable signatures. Several supersymmetric models predict massive long-lived supersymmetric particles that may be detected through abnormal specific energy loss, appearing or disappearing tracks, displaced vertices, long time-of-flight or late calorimetric energy deposits. In addition to summarizing recent ATLAS search results on the production of squarks and gluinos in scenarios with such non-prompt particle decays, this talk will also address less conventional scenarios with tau leptons or same-flavour lepton pairs in the final state, with discussion in the context of GMSB models as well as traditional simplified models.
