Safety and Security

 

Safe environment

Australia is a safe country. It has a low crime rate, political stability and a peaceful society.

Australia is a harmonious nation, with equality for all, regardless of gender or race. Australia has never had a civil war, and is free of civil strife. The government is democratically elected, and is not ruled by the military nor based on religion.

The incidence of robbery and assault is relatively low, and Australia has strict anti-gun and drug laws.

Australians trust their police force and their government officials. Bribery and corruption are against the law and are not accepted by society.

Racial discrimination and harassment are also against the law. Overall the Australian people are accepting and welcoming to others.

International students feel safe in Australia.
