The University of Notre Dame Australia does not tolerate any form of sexual and gender-based violence. We are committed to fostering a community in which all members feel safe, respected, and supported. Every student, employee and visitor has the right to be treated with dignity and to feel secure at all times. 

You may seek support or guidance, and the decision to disclose or report rests entirely with you. Throughout the process, you will retain full control and be supported in a manner that upholds and empowers your choices. 

Any student, employee, or member of the public can make a disclosure report. Reports can be made anonymously; however, this may affect the University’s ability to offer support or respond to the incident. 

In an emergency, call 000 to contact the Police.

This portal is not monitored outside business hours. For an immediate response and access to other support services, visit emergency assistance. 

You can exit the portal at any time if you do not wish to proceed with making a disclosure. Incomplete disclosures are temporarily saved, and you can return to complete or discard a report within 5 days of the start date.

For further support, please contact a Respect Officer or a Respect@Work Officer. 

Completion of this form is considered a disclosure and involves informing a University Respect or Respect@Work Officer, and/or the University, about an incident for the purpose of seeking support and understanding available options.

When someone shares an experience of sexual or gender-based violence with you, this is considered a disclosure. Your role is to listen, support their safety and respect their choice about what happens next.

Any referral or contact with a University Respect Officer must be made with the person’s informed consent. An Officer will not reach out unless the individual has agreed to this.

Respect and Respect@Work Officers can also support you if you’re unsure how to respond.

Please complete the fields with the provided consent information. Leave any fields blank where consent has not been provided.

Please share any information you feel comfortable providing about what has happened. We understand you may not recall every detail. If you are unsure about dates, times, or specific names, that is completely okay. Share the parts you recall in your own words. 

If you would like to, you can include anything that feels relevant, such as when the incident occurred, anyone involved, or anyone who may have witnessed it. This helps us understand the situation and identify the most appropriate next steps, but you are not required to provide more detail than you feel ready or comfortable to. 

Your information will be handled with care and only the relevant employees involved in responding to your report will have access to it.

Any personal information provided will only be used for the purpose for which it is provided, or in accordance with the individual’s specific consent. The University will not disclose personal information to a third party unless required to or permitted by law (e.g. mandatory reporting for child protection) or where an individual has consented to the disclosure.

Information relating to how the University collects, uses or discloses personal information and how a complaint may be made about the University’s handling of your personal information is contained in the University’s Privacy Policy. 

We thank you for your time in making this disclosure. A University Respect or Respect@Work Officer will contact you via your preferred contact method within two (2) business days.
