Sexual harm and gender-based violence, in all their forms, have no place at our University
We are committed to providing safe and inclusive communities, on-campus and online, which are free from all forms of sexual and gendered harm.
If you have experienced gender-based violence, we are here to support you. We encourage all members of the Griffith community to call out, report and seek support if disrespectful or harmful sexual or gendered behaviours occur.
Respect and consent
Explore the foundations of healthy relationships through modules, workshops and resources. Register for upcoming workshops.
