The service aims to empower the Deakin community with the skills and knowledge to keep themselves safe.
If you feel threatened or unsafe, are worried about someone harming themselves or someone else or something doesn’t feel right, contact us.
Sexual Assault disclosure
Sexual assault is a misuse of power, a betrayal of trust and a violation of personal boundaries. It is not your fault. We are here to support you.
Respect. Now.
Always
Our aim is to prevent sexual assaults and to provide victim/survivor-centred support to students and staff who have been assaulted, regardless of where the assault happened.
Domestic and Family Violence
Deakin is committed to assisting staff and students experiencing domestic and family violence with the aim of supporting their continued participation in employment or study.
