safety
Sydney is internationally acknowledged as one of the most
beautiful cities in the world. Clear blue skies, friendly people,
a beautiful harbour and beaches and a healthy outdoor
lifestyle make this a great place to live.
According to the latest fgures from the NSW Bureau of Crime
Statistics and Research, crime in the Randwick area is well
below the NSW average, which means it is a safe and relatively
secure area in Sydney. That’s great news for you, and for us, as
your safety is one of our most important considerations.
UNSW also has its own on-campus security service and
a series of safety contact points in case of a campus
emergency. In Australia, the police are well respected and
available to assist in an emergency. They can be contacted
on 000 at any time.
