You can make a report. We can help.
Do I have to make a report?
No.
What can the University do if I don’t make a report?
We can provide you with support and talk about your other options.
Can I change my mind and make a report later?
Yes
If I make a report what happens?
The matter will be investigated. If it involves another student the investigation will be conducted by Student Governance Unit of the Academic Registrar’s Group. If it involves a staff member or a third party connected to RMIT, the investigation will be conducted by Policy and Workplace Relations. The person investigating may need to speak with you about what has happened. You may want the support of a student rights officer, a family member or a friend. A member from Safer Community can also provide this support.
What happens next?
The University can’t make decisions about whether a crime has been committed. Instead, the report investigator will consider what happened and whether the university’s rules about behaviour have been broken. The University Student Conduct Board (for students) or Policy and Workplace Relations (for staff) will make a decision about the outcome or penalty.
Will I have to attend?
No you don’t have to – your statement and the investigation findings can be used.
Can I attend if I want to?
You can ask to attend and your request will be considered.
