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 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. With a focus on ongoing learning, our elearn modules not only meet but exceed the National Code’s requirements and learning outcomes, making us a trusted choice for Higher Education Providers seeking to build safer, more informed learning communities.

  • Understanding gender-based violence

    Module one explores the prevalence of gender-based violence and the factors that drive and contribute to it. Learners will identify how forms of inequality and discrimination compound to effect gender-based violence - including power dynamics and communities that are disproportionately affected.

  • What's the problem and how did we get here?

    Module two explores the prevalence of young people's experiences of gender-based violence, including experiences of unwanted and non-consensual sex. Learners identify some of the social and cultural contributing factors of young people’s experiences – including mainstream pornography and inadequate sex education.

  • Consent beyond 'yes' and 'no'

    Module three introduces learners to the communicative approach to consent, which is just as much about preventing harm as it is about promoting safe and pleasurable intimate relationships. Learners become familiar with ways to communicate giving and refusing consent, as well as recognising consent and lack of consent.

  • Sexual violence: responding, intervening and reporting

    Module four equips learners with best practice skills for responding to disclosures and ethical bystander intervention skills. Learners are informed of avenues for reporting gender-based and sexual violence and provided with reliable resources and support services when seeking assistance in relation to an experience of gender-based and sexual violence.
