Safety and respect

Safety and respect are fundamental to Charles Sturt University, and we are committed to a safe, inclusive and respectful community for all.

Here you can find support, understand your options, and access information about issues that can affect safety, wellbeing and belonging across our university, including child safety, modern slavery, racism, sexual misconduct and gender-based violence.

Everyone in our community has a role to play in preventing harm, responding to concerns, and contributing to a culture of respect.

If you need help, want to report a concern, or are looking for information, start here.

Gender based violence

Gender-based violence can take many forms, including coercive control, stalking, image-based abuse, domestic and family violence, and other harmful behaviour targeted on the basis of gender. Find support and reporting information.

Safety on campus

An active bystander culture helps keep our community safe. If you see unwanted or inappropriate behaviour, or feel unsafe on campus, Campus Security is available to support you.

Respect week

Respect at Uni Week is about action, but it starts with questions: What does respect really mean to you? How can we act, talk, and create a space where everyone feels valued and safe? Your voice and actions matter in shaping that answer.
