Sex & Consent Online Modules for Australian Universities
Sex & Consent engages learners with a relatable, compelling and evidence-based eLearning experience that equips them with the knowledge and tools to navigate sexual consent and prevent gender-based and sexual violence in their everyday lives.
Developed in collaboration with experts, students, and communities disproportionately affected by gender-based violence, the eLearn modules are inclusive, accessible, and customisable to meet to the unique needs of higher education institutions.
The eLearn modules focus on ongoing learning, aligning with the learning outcomes listed in Standard 3 of The National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence, making us a trusted choice for Higher Education Providers seeking to build safer, more informed learning communities.
-
Gender-based violence literacy
Module one provides learners with a comprehensive definition of gender-based violence, including common examples of gender-based violence and an exploration of its prevalence. Learners become familiar with the social and cultural factors contributing to the high rates of gender-based violence, including the drivers that underpin these behaviours. Learners also consider how these factors shape attitudes, behaviours and relationships.
-
Understanding consent and healthy relationships
Module two focuses on consent and equips learners with the skills to develop healthy, safe and respectful relationships. Learners are introduced to the communicative approach to consent, based on communication, responsibility and pleasure, and hear directly from young Australians sharing how they navigate consent in their own sexual relationships.
-
Accessing support and reporting gender-based violence
Module three equips learners with skills to safely respond to disclosures of gender-based violence in a person-centred and trauma-informed way. Learners become familiar with the skills required to be an ethical bystander, internal and external support services, and the resources and reporting avenues available to a person who has experienced gender-based violence.
Designed for Diverse Student Cohorts
Every Sex & Consent eLearn licence includes two distinct versions: one designed for domestic students and one designed for international students, enabling institutions to deliver learning that reflects the different contexts and experiences of their diverse student cohorts.
Both versions share the same evidence-based learning outcomes and equip students with the knowledge and practical skills to understand gender-based violence, navigate consent and healthy relationships, respond safely to disclosures, and accessing support.
What differs is the context, language, examples and learning journey — ensuring the content is relevant and accessible to students with different experiences of sex and relationships education, cultural norms and Australian laws and systems.
Domestic Students
Built around the experiences of students at Australian universities, the Domestic version of Learning Consent’s Sex & Consent eLearn brings Australian research, student perspectives and everyday university contexts into the learning experience. The modules explore gender-based violence, sex, dating, relationships and consent through scenarios that feel familiar and relevant to students’ lives. Case studies, videography and practical activities reflect diverse Australian experiences, helping students connect the evidence with situations they may encounter in relationships, on campus and within their own broader communities.
International Students
Co-designed with international students at Australian universities, the International version of Learning Consent’s Sex & Consent eLearn reflects the experiences of international students from diverse culturally backgrounds, with greater consideration of the different contexts that can shape understandings and experiences of sex, dating, relationships and consent. Language throughout the modules is more accessible for students for whom English is an additional language, while case studies and video content reflect the lived experiences of international students studying in Australia.
Video Content
Each module features video content that profiles the stories of young people navigating relationships, sexuality and consent.
Interactive Learner Experiences
Modules feature interactive learner experiences throughout including knowledge-checks, case studies and simulations that allow learners to engage and observe before applying their knowledge and skills.
“The real-life scenarios helped deepen my understanding in a meaningful way. The course reinforced the importance of spotting subtler patterns, both in my own life and in supporting others.”
