Learn more about Respect at Uni Week
In 2023, Victorian universities joined forces to promote the importance of respect, equality and inclusion at our campuses, in online spaces and in our communities.
Our communities should be safe and free from violence. We’ll continue to improve our prevention of and response to sexual harassment and sexual assault, in line with the findings from the National Student Safety Survey.
