Creating a safe and respectful community
Information and resources for staff and students.
General support
Respondents will be offered support by the University independent of the support provided to the complainant, witnesses or others who are aware of a report of sexual assault, sexual harassment or sex-based harassment. Members of the University community can also seek advice, information and support from external agencies or raise concerns if they are not content with the University's response.
These external agencies include:
- Police
- Australian Human Rights Commission
- Anti-Discrimination NSW
- Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency
- SafeWork NSW
- Fair Work Australia
- Fair Work Ombudsman
- NSW Ombudsman
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
