    At TAFE NSW, your safety is our priority. This includes looking after your physical wellbeing, mental health, and personal belongings.

    Your teacher will let you know what to do in an emergency. They’ll also let you know where to go if you need first aid on campus. 

    If there’s an immediate risk of harm, call Triple Zero (000). 

    Keeping you safe on campus

    While on campus, we encourage you to use the free SafeZone app to help keep you safe.

    You can use the app to:

    • connect directly with the Ðãɫֱ²¥Security Control Room
    • call ‘000’ for emergency services
    • check in at a campus manually or automatically
    • share your GPS location
    • receive real-time, location-specific updates on emergency and security issues.

    SafeZone will only work after you have registered and while you are at a Ðãɫֱ²¥campus.

    The app uses minimal data and won't drain your battery.

    For more information read our SafeZone User Guide.
