This is an education and intervention program teaching us all to be leaders in the prevention of sexual violence and harassment.

The program is designed to teach students how to recognize sexual violence in its various forms and have the confidence to speak out and offer help.

Ultimately, we seek to inspire leadership by empowering participants with the tools to feel confident in addressing harmful and abusive behaviour.

Boundaries, respect and positive intervention.

To support a respectful and inclusive university environment, we are offering a free online course to all students and staff to help you understand sexual consent and how to recognise situations when consent can and can't be given, whatever your gender or sexuality.

The course helps you think about your own boundaries and how to talk about them. It also provides information and examples of ways you could step in if you see or hear something you're uncomfortable with.

The course is interactive and uses quizzes and scenarios as well as additional information and research resources.

Students and staff are encouraged to complete the course, which is available through MyUni.
