Is Sydney Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Sydney

A very safe city. Some areas can be considered a bit unsafe around the CBD area, especially at night. Walking around during the day is lovely and there is rarely anything bad that occurs. A great place to solo travel as a female

Sydney is safe, however you stay need to make sure your safe. You never know being a woman. There is always risks. Can't be too safe..however always tell someone where you go. Don't go out west like blacktown, that is a dodgy area.

Extremely safe, I've walked the streets at 3am in the city & whilst lighting could be better, I haven't had any problems with running into safety concerns. There's also almost always a police station near by.

Sydney is a very clean and safe city. I'm staying in Cronulla, aka The Shire and it's a great place to stay. There is a super clean beach, public transport and shops, supermarkets and cafes. I walk alone at night with no problem at all

In terms of security Sydney is an amazing place to live because I feel free to leave my home it doesn’t matter the time also in the dark. But as a woman we always need to double pay attention everywhere.

I'm currently living in a suburb north of Sydney surrounded by horses. I feel 100% safe day and night. Sydney is a big city, and the streets are often crowded, so there's nothing to worry about. Australia in general is a very safe country !

Sydney city is a bustling and safe area and I’ve never felt unsafe walking around at night or catching public transport. Some clubs can be a little predatory so keep your witts about you but 90% of the time its fine. There can be rowdy drunks out on the street at times but they’re mostly just struggling to walk home.

Very safe in comparison to other countries I have visited. I am never worried that I will be pick pocked from, often walk home alone in the dark/after a night out and always leave my things alone at the beach when going or a swim.

Sydney for me feels pretty safe. I used to live in Bondi, now in Manly and I never felt unsafe walking around at night. The people here are very nice and helpful. At my very old place, we even left the door open without locking, nothing happened.

Very safe. I would not cross parks that have no lighting at night, or walk around train stations late at night, just in case. However, neither I nor my acquaintances have ever experienced bad things.

Solo travel

I went to Sydney for about a week to join a workshop. Whenever I go to a new country, I tend to go to places where it's specific for a certain personal purpose even if it's not a popular touristy place. To see something that I've had on my wishlist. For example when I was in Sydney for this trip, I took the train to a small suburb to see a mosque that I have been learning about for a couple of years before I even knew I'd be in Sydney one day. I also love to literally walk around a lot (because it's free!) :D

Solo travel

Sydney is such a fabulous city. The people are so kind and i love that the blue mountains are so close by and a great place to hike. I also always felt safe! The night life is quite big and getting to see an opera in the sydney opera house is a must
