The University of Western Australia strongly supports the nationwide National Student Safety Survey campaign which highlights the determination of Australia's universities to ensure that our students and staff are safe from sexual assault and sexual harassment.

More information can be found on UWA's Safe community and Support for sexual harassment and assault pages.

Where possible and appropriate, a person should attempt to resolve their concerns directly with the respondent or with staff at the local-level prior to making a complaint to the Integrity and Standards Unit (ISU).

If you are unsure where to submit your complaint, please submit it to the ISU and we will refer it to the appropriate staff member or area of the University for resolution.
