Answer
This flowchart provides an overview of support options available to you if you have experienced sexual harm or violence. It doesn’t matter if the incident occurred recently or a long time ago, if it happened on-campus or off-campus, or whether you are a student or a staff member.
Support is always available, and we encourage you to make use of the free and confidential services at Griffith University or those outside of the University:
- Student Safety and Wellbeing provides confidential support for disclosures of concerning, threatening or inappropriate behaviour. We will listen impartially to your concerns, help you find the support you need, and provide advice on your reporting options.
- Respect Officers are staff from across the university who have been trained to respond to disclosures of harm. SASH Responders can talk to you about the support and reporting options available.
- Student Associations (SRC and Gold Coast Student Guild) may be able to assist with emergency accommodation and vouchers and have staff employed to provide support, advice, and advocacy assistance to students.
- LGBTI+ students may wish to seek support from the LGBTI+ Counselling Service. LGBTI+ students and staff can also seek support from a Griffith Ally.
- Staff members and HDR students can access the Staff counselling program run by Converge International which offers confidential support for anyone who has experienced concerning, threating or inappropriate behaviour.
