Exciting paperwork aside (Terms of Reference, Strategic Plan
etc), there are some things worth sharing with SCS staff and students:
Respect. Now. Always.
The Safer Community Unit on
campus provides confidential advice, support and referrals. If you’ve
experienced sexual assault, inappropriate, concerning or threatening behaviour
from Monash University students (on- or off-campus, even online), you can
download this app
to help navigate support services.

You may be aware that the Australian
Human Rights Commission (AHRC) sexual assault and harassment survey results were made
available in August last year. These results showed that 1 in 4 students
experienced sexual harassment at university in 2016. Part of the
response to this issue is training. You can see the official 10 point plan here.
Students at residential colleges and halls, students running clubs, and
students attending offsite events must now complete online training, in the
form of watching videos on consent
and appropriate
behaviour.
Gender
Affirmation/Transition Procedure
Monash
University is committed to creating a safe, inclusive and respectful
environment and celebrates the rich diversity of our employees and students.
This procedure
provides essential information on how the university affirms gender and
supports staff and students through gender transition. It may help you navigate
the university system and/or better support transgender and gender diverse
employees and students. There’s a list of support services and definitions in
the last sections that may also be helpful.
If staff wish to enquire about
frontline training or other respectful community workshop training
opportunities please contact Fiona.marshall@monash.edu.
Any questions, concerns,
suggestions or complaints, contact Ayse.Zengin@monash.edu or cat.shore-lorenti@monash.edu.
