Crime rate in Melbourne

I'm planning to move down to Melbourne (from Syd) for about 1 year for a graduate job. Perferably living close to Southern Cross Station.

I've been down there a couple of times, but I've heard the CBD has a high crime rate esp. at night, with the alcohol and violence. Can anyone confirm this? Or recommend a safer suburb close to the CBD/transport/and food?

You're from sydney are you fucking kidding me?

Edit: You must be some sheltered ass north shore kid.

You will be fine if you're not an idiot and don't go walking the streets late at night/early morning. Live somewhere like Elwood if you want close to the city.

i have been in the CBD of melbourne at night many a times and have felt completely safe the entire time

CBD is fine, it's the train stations and underground tunnels that are getting all the attention ATM, do yourself a favour and stay away from Sunshine train station in melbourne at night

Waaaaay away from the CBD... But Burwood would suit nicely, lol.

The CBD is pretty fine at night. Even during NYE when you'd expect there to be brawls etc.... Last NYE we were on the river for the fireworks and headed into the CBD. Not once did we hear angry yells or see a fight in the entire 6 hours we were out.

It's not that bad. If you want to go out at night consider Chapel St, hardly any violence there.

Just stay away from Dandenong.
