Safety & Protection

Australia is much safer than many other countries. However, it is still wise to:

• Avoid dangerous situations
• Keep yourself safe

Here are some safety tips.

• Always tell someone where you are going, and when you expect to return
• Be careful when you are travelling at night on your own
• Do not leave personal belongings unattended
• Always carry a mobile phone, coins for a pay phone, or a phone card
• Follow any security guidelines provided by your college and your International Student Coordinator
• Avoid giving personal information to strangers
• Lock doors and windows before you leave your house or apartment
• Be careful when using automatic teller machines (ATMs) and put your cash away quickly
• Keep valuables out of sight when travelling
