We're here to support your health and wellbeing, as well as your research goals.
At the University, we're working hard to instil and promote a culture that is inclusive and supportive. We offer training and resources to help you reach your potential as a researcher. And we provide services that help you feel safe and respected.
The University of Melbourne is committed to enabling a safe, inclusive and respectful environment – and this includes preventing sexual assault and harassment within our community.
Whatever stage you are at in your research career, we want you to feel safe and supported during your time here. This is why, when it comes to sexual assault and harassment, we have zero tolerance. We have clear codes of conduct, and we do not tolerate behaviour that does not meet our standards.
Before you start at the University, we encourage you to complete an online training module called ‘Consent Matters’. We can assure you that if you are affected by sexual assault or harassment while a member of our community, we will support you. We provide access to safe and confidential support services.
Listen to Professor Duncan Maskell, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne, discuss the importance of respect, as well as the University's position on sexual assault and sexual harassment, and services available to students and staff.
