UNSW’s leadership team shares how SafeZone is central to the university’s safety strategy, improving real-time communication during incidents, co-ordinating responses across campus and providing reassurance to students, staff and parents alike. From lone working and studying late at night to large-scale emergency situations, SafeZone ensures help is always just a tap away.
The university’s security team shares how they’ve moved from an outdated, fragmented system to a streamlined, real-time solution that has significantly improved incident response and engagement with the university community.
CriticalArc talks to the team at Gold Coast Health (GCH) in Queensland, Australia, about the impact of SafeZone on how safety is managed across their diverse healthcare teams.

CriticalArc’s SafeZone was identified as the best enterprise safety and security solution for IPC Health in Victoria, Australia, and it proved to have multiple other benefits too. Adopting the multi-function platform became a catalyst for a wide-ranging review of preparedness, emergency response, and support for staff wellbeing.
With teaching and research facilities spread across nine locations in London and beyond, Imperial is home to more than 25,000 students and staff around the world. A solution was sought to help mitigate these risks and send targeted alerts to specific groups defined by location and user type.
In 2020 Sydney Trains became the first rail operator to introduce SafeZone from CriticalArc, providing its staff with enhanced protection and enabling faster emergency response to incidents across the network.
SafeZone provides detailed, geographically precise situational awareness for CQU first responders, improving their command and control capability and allowing officers to be dispatched to incidents much more quickly.
Since 2016 the University of Queensland has been among the most committed advocates of SafeZone technology, using it to improve safety for over 52,000 students and 6,600 staff at three campuses.
Heriot-Watt University has been named as International University of the Year by “The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018”. It was the first British university to open a campus in Dubai where it now has almost 5,000 students and staff; and its Malaysia campus has around 3,000 students.
