Student safety and the security of personal property is a high priority at UNSW.

Personal safety on campus is something UNSW wants students to be aware of. UNSW encourage students to act positively and responsibly to enhance their own safety.

Safety on campus is managed by UNSW Security Services who are dedicated to providing a safe campus for the whole community.

UNSW is a large institution and includes a number of campuses. Each campus has a local security focus so it is important to find out what the safety procedures are at each location.
