Make a report of sexual harm or gender-based violence online

Your Student Liaison Officers

Meet the team that provides one-on-one support, advocacy and case management for students who have experienced sexual harm or gender-based violence.

How to be an active bystander

While no one wants to witness problematic or dangerous situations, it’s important to recognise what inappropriate behaviour looks like and how to intervene safely if you ever see it.

What is enthusiastic consent?

Consent is required at every stage of intimacy and at every point in a relationship, no matter how long you've been together. Find out what enthusiastic consent looks like and how to ask for it.

What happens if I report an incident of sexual harm or gender-based violence?

We're here for you. When you report sexual harm or gender-based violence to the University, specialist staff will work with you to assess your needs, provide support and take appropriate actions.
