As part of the University’s commitment to safety, staff and students have the option to download the new SafeZone app from the App Store or Google Play.

SafeZone plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety of our UNSW community. It aims to provide our staff and students with the following advantages:

  • Access to personalised emergency assistance without delay. (Emergency Alert, First Aid or Non Urgent matters)
  • A direct line to the UNSW Security Operations Centre who can deploy appropriate emergency resources 
  • Prompt notifications regarding safety issues in their vicinity.

In the event of an emergency, the app allows you to quickly share your location and details with the University Security team who will be able to get the right assistance to you.
