Our Progress
The University of Canberra is strengthening its commitment to a safe, respectful, and inclusive community through a whole-of-institution approach to preventing and responding to gender-based violence. We’ve expanded training and capability development for staff and students, enhanced policies to meet national standards, and embedded trauma-informed, person-centred practices across the University. Our prevention work is evidence-based and guided by leading frameworks, including Our Watch’s Change the Story, Educating for Equality, and Communicating with Purpose. These actions are driving cultural change, empowering individuals with knowledge and skills, and ensuring accountability at every level.
