Australian universities like UNSW graduate thousands of students every year whose understanding, expectations and actions will shape behaviour in broader communities. As students today, you will be leaders, colleagues and parents of tomorrow. You will influence culture in workplaces and homes around the world for decades to come.

We encourage everyone to commit to creating and supporting a safe environment for all, whether you are learning with us on campus, or online.

Safety Support on Campus

Here are 3 resources to help you stay safe whilst you are on campus:

  1. Late Escort Bus – this bus will shuttle you around campus in the evenings. Look for the bus stops around campus.
  2. Courtesy Bus to Central Station – this bus will take you from main campus to Central Station in town.
  3. SafeZone app:

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.
