Respect & Equality at TAFE Week 2024

Everyone at RMIT deserves to feel safe, included and valued – and it all starts with respect.

Respect & Equality at TAFE Week is a great opportunity to connect with other students and staff and learn more about what RMIT is doing to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, sexual harassment, harm and assault in our community.

There’s lots you can do:

If you need support

If you have experienced sexual harassment, harm or assault, or any other unsafe or uncomfortable behaviour, help is always available. Contact our dedicated support service for students and staff Safer Community.

Students hold paper fans that read "I'm a fan of respect."

Three resources to help students navigate relationships and sex

Everyone at RMIT deserves to feel safe, included and valued, but unfortunately things can happen that impact our experiences of being safe and respected.

We’ve pulled three resources together to help you navigate the amazing but also challenging world of relationships and sex in 2024.
