Support for victims and survivors
If you, or someone you are aware of, has experienced sexual assault or harassment you can receive specialist support from trained professionals.
You do not have to cope with this alone, and there are a number of free and confidential services available to support you.
You may wish to access specialist counselling, medical services, or receive financial or accommodation support, or require academic adjustments and support.
What you can expect from the University:
- to be listened to and taken seriously
- to be provided with information about all your options
- to be supported through the process to make your own decisions and choices.
If you require a translator, please contact the team at Tauria— Student Interest and Conflict Resolution.
You may want to talk to a trained professional about your options for reporting and support. You can do this confidentially through the following services.
Counselling support
It is important to think about your emotional health needs. Explore your options for support inside and outside of the University.
Legal support
There are options for seeking advice both on and off campus if you have experienced sexually harmful behaviour.
Safety support
If you feel unsafe—either on or off campus—there are urgent and non-urgent options for seeking help.
Medical and forensic support
If you have been sexually assaulted, it is important that you access specialist medical care.
University-based support
There is confidential support for academic matters available for all students to ensure the impact on your studies is limited.
Reporting to Police
Reporting to the University and reporting to the Police are two separate processes. If you report to the Police, you can still report to the University.
