Sexual and Gender-based Violence

The University of Notre Dame Australia maintains an enduring commitment to human dignity, the common good and the creation of a safe, respectful and supportive community for all. We affirm that every person is worthy of care and respect.

We recognise that information about gender-based and sexual violence can be challenging. Our intention is to present it in a way that is clear, compassionate and supportive, honouring the dignity of each individual.

Support that feels right for you and suits your needs

Find resources on the University’s prevention and response initiatives, learn about available supports and access guidance on making a disclosure or formal report—at a pace that feels right for you.

Our commitment to awareness, prevention and wellbeing

Our ongoing goal is to strengthen awareness, prevention, and response efforts so that anyone impacted by gender-based violence feels heard, supported and valued. Our goal is to foster an environment where safety, dignity and holistic wellbeing are central to every person’s experience.

Help us promote a safe and inclusive community

All members of the Notre Dame community are encouraged to get involved with this initiative, take part in training, engagement and awareness programs, and contribute to creating a safer, more respectful, and inclusive environment.
