الجرافيك Placard reads "Don't rape"

All 39 universities in Australia have reported to the Commission on the steps they are taking to address sexual harassment and sexual assaults.

The Australian Human Rights Commission has released a report card on the steps universities have taken to prevent sexual harassment and sexual assaults.

The Change the course report, released in August 2017 found one in five (21%) students reported experiencing sexual harassment in a university setting in 2016 and 1.6% of students reported experiencing sexual assault in a university setting on at least one occasion in 2015 or 2016.

Last month, the Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins wrote to all 39 University Vice Chancellors to request information about what action their university had taken in response to the Change the course report.

  • All 39 universities have accepted the majority of the Commission's recommendations, and 32 universities have explicitly accepted all nine recommendations

  • 20 universities reported that they have launched or will launch apps for students that offer a range of information and services including links to support services, links to campus security or information on consent and relationships
  • 23 universities reported implementing, or a commitment to implementing, a review of existing university policies and response pathways in relation to sexual assault and sexual harassment
  • 36 universities reported identifying staff members and student representatives most likely to receive disclosures of sexual assault and sexual harassment and ensured they have received training in responding to disclosures or are preparing to do so
