2025 Annual Report on Sexual Misconduct

Our fourth annual report outlines the progress we made in 2025 to prevent and respond to gender-based violence and sexual harm, guided by evidence-based strategies and, critically, shaped by the voices of victim-survivors. It also includes data on reports of University-related and non-University related incidents of gender-based violence and sexual harm, and outcomes of complaints that were finalised in 2024.

  4. Governance

The Safer Communities Office continues to make progress in strengthening consent education, enhancing preventative initiatives, and reducing barriers for victim-survivors to report gender-based violence and sexual harm. 

From 2026, our work is aligned with the requirements of the National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence and reflects our ongoing commitment to ensure all members of our community feel safe and respected.
