Respectful relationships

The Respectful Relationships Unit (RRU) focusses on the prevention of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the ºÚÁÏÌìÌÃcommunity. As part of the University’s commitment to building a safe and respectful community, we drive positive, sustainable change through evidence-based education and cultural change.

The RRU team provides professional services - including education, community engagement, capacity building, consultation and planning facilitation - that support ºÚÁÏÌìÌÃcommunities to change culture and effectively address the drivers of sexual assault and sexual harassment. 

Established in 2019, the RRU previously supported members of the ºÚÁÏÌìÌÃcommunity who had experienced sexual harassment and/or assault. In 2021 this specialist service was relocated to the newly formed Student Safety and Wellbeing team where expert Case Managers can provide confidential and comprehensive support. Find out more about these services on the Health, safety & wellbeing page.
