Your safety & wellbeing is our priority
Your safety & wellbeing is our priority
We are aware of recent assaults in the local area, including incidents involving UNSW students. The assaults are understandably causing distress and worry for many of you. This behaviour has no place at UNSW, and every member of our community deserves the right to feel safe from all forms of harm.
Campus Security is in regular contact with NSW Police, including their Cultural Liaison Team, coordinating increased patrols around the Kensington campus. We are receiving regular briefings to monitor the situation and working together to ensure the wellbeing and safety of the community.
We are also aware of an upcoming peaceful protest planned in Hyde Park, and we fully respect the right to gather in solidarity with the community and against violence.
Most importantly, support is available to you whenever you need it. If you ever feel physically unsafe when on campus, please use the SafeZone app to alert security – UNSW is here for you.
