Study NSW is proud to release the Scams Awareness Toolkit, developed as part of one of our 2020-21 Partner Projects. This project aims to communicate key educational messages to international students to warn and protect them against fraudulent scams targeting them and the wider population. The Toolkit is a suite of materials for education providers to use to raise awareness among international students about the nature of scams and what steps students can take if they are a victim of a scam.
