The Prevention & Respect team, which sits within the Health, Safety and Risk team, are responsible for leading work associated with the prevention of gender-based violence across the whole of RMIT.

Gender-based violence is a significant issue in the university setting, nationally and globally and is recognised as National Priority Area under Australia’s National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032 and The Action Plan Addressing Gender-based Violence in Higher Education

On 1 January 2026, The National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence (the Code) became mandatory for all Australian higher education providers. The Code requires that universities take a whole-of-organisation approach to preventing and responding to gender-based violence. The Code establishes shared national expectations across seven areas: accountable leadership and governance, safe environments and systems, knowledge and capability building, safety and support, safe processes, data and evidence, and safe student accommodation. The Code requires universities to undertake ongoing monitoring and evaluation of prevention education and specialised training for students, staff and leaders, ensuring evaluation findings inform future prevention and response initiatives. The Code recognises that strengthened data collection systems and expanding the evidence base are essential components of a comprehensive response to addressing Gender-based Violence. As such, the Senior Coordinator, Evaluation & Impact role is central to ensuring RMIT meets its obligations under the Code.
