Is Australia safe?

Is it dangerous to study abroad? Is Australia safe? The law and order situation in Australia is generally good, but safety accidents encountered in other countries may also occur in Australia! So, I decided to give my friends a popular science lesson: What should I do if I get into trouble in Australia? What security issues need attention?

In Australia, what should I do if I get into trouble?

First, prevention. Security is relative, and there is no absolute security. In many cases, consular protection cannot recover the losses that have been caused, so prevention is the best protection. Understand safety risks, abide by laws and regulations, and prevent accidents as much as possible.

Second, save yourself. Being there, knowing the ins and outs of things, the person who can help you the most is yourself. Do what you can. Understand and master certain knowledge of safety and self-help. When you are in trouble, you must first ensure your own life safety, handle it calmly and properly.

Third, local. Local police, hospitals, associations, legal aid, etc. They are all recently available resources, so it is often the most effective choice to seek help from local resources at the first time. You should know this kind of information before leaving your job, and take the initiative to seek their help when you encounter difficulties, especially major problems.

Fourth, relatives and friends. The people who know you best and care about you most are parents, relatives and friends. They will always provide the most intimate help when you need it most. Tell them the itinerary, keep in touch with them and report safety. When you encounter difficulties, please be sure to contact them for possible help.

5. accept insurance. Consular protection is the strong backing. In case of emergency or major accident, if you still need help after trying the above means, you can call the emergency telephone number of the embassy or consulate in Australia or the hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at 0011861kloc-0/2308.

After dialing 000, the operator will usually let you choose the police, fire brigade or ambulance.

3. Provide as detailed information as possible, especially accurate location information, such as city, street name and house number. If you are on the highway, you should name the town and highway you just passed.

Friends who have just arrived in Australia remember to download it ~

So, what safety issues should be paid attention to in Australia?

In fact, the overall law and order in Australia is still relatively good, but safety accidents encountered in other countries may also occur in Australia! Safety is the most important thing when you are away from home! So friends who stay in Australia should pay more attention to the problem ~

Home security

1. Try to live in a community with good public security and install anti-theft, video recording, alarm and other facilities.

Don't store a lot of cash at home.

3. Understand the campus and workplace environment as soon as possible, and always pay attention to the safety tips of websites, newspapers and schools. Know the location of safety exits and emergency exits in schools or workplaces. You should also know the location of the school's emergency alarm institutions, emergency rooms and medical stations. Take the emergency contact number of the school with you so that you can ask for help in time when you are in danger.

4. Pay attention to guard against potential dangers. Do not enter if you find suspicious passengers before entering the elevator; It's best not to act alone at night or in a secluded place. In case of stalking, you can go directly to a crowded place or knock on the door of local residents for help.

driving safety

1. The traffic rule in Australia is to drive on the left. Newcomers should especially remind themselves to walk to the left at all times and pay attention to the vehicles (including bicycles) driving on the road.

2. There are generally indicator control buttons at intersections. When crossing the road, you need to press the button first and then wait for the green light. Pay attention to cross the road only from the crosswalk, when the green light on the pedestrian side is on.

3. Even if you have the absolute right to cross the road or highway, you must do it: one stop (stop at the intersection), two thoughts (remind the vehicle to turn left), three looks (look at the traffic lights, first at the right and then at the left, and make sure there are no cars in both directions) and four passes. Don't grab the road to grab the time.

Work/work safety
