Keeping our community safe with UNSWAlert testing: T3

On Tuesday 30 September 2025, UNSW will conduct the Term 3 SMS alert test. 

UNSWAlert is an SMS notification system for students and staff. This is a vital tool to notify our community if any emergency or crisis situations arise on campus.   

New staff members – and new students – will automatically be registered to receive communications from UNSWAlert unless you opt out.  

Each term, UNSWAlert sends test notifications. On 30 September, students and staff will receive the following SMS message from SafeZone:  

UNSWAlert – TEST. This is a TEST MESSAGE. You do not need to take action or respond to this message. UNSW Emergency Management.  

Update your details in myUNSW 

Check your mobile details are up to date in myUNSW under your personal information to ensure you receive emergency alerts.  

If you’ve previously opted out and would like to receive alert messages again, you can also update this via myUNSW.  

UNSWAlert will only contact you in the event of an emergency or crisis on campus and for testing the system each term.
