National Student Safety Survey Results

Support

If you, or someone you know at Macquarie, has experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment, you can talk to our staff or external services.

Safer Communities @ MQ

Safer Communities @ MQ is a mandatory online course to be completed by all Macquarie students. The module will help you understand how you can take action to prevent sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Inappropriate and unwanted behaviour (IUB) report

Report sexual harassment or sexual assault, other unwanted or inappropriate behaviour, or safety concerns due to someone's behaviour, if students are involved.

Student Wellbeing staff will contact the person making a report (if they provide their contact details) to ensure that those affected are safe and to help manage the effects of the situation (including identifying and discussing response options).
