In 2025, the Australian Government introduced the National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence (NCGBV), a legally enforceable framework, setting requirements for all higher education providers.

The NCGBV:

came into effect on 1 January 2026;

mandates a Whole-of-Organisation approach to trauma informed, culturally safe and evidence-based practice.

This information session is designed for HDR students. This session will help you:

Understand the NCGBV and how the ANU is responding to it

Understand what your obligations are under the NCGBV

Learn what training, supports and disclosure pathways are available at ANU

Learn about current and upcoming opportunities for ANU Community input.

We are organising a range of sessions with specific information for different groups in the ANU Community. If you are unsure if this session is right for you, please contact NCGBV@anu.edu.au

In-person sessions will be held on campus, and are subject to sufficient registrations to proceed. The venue location will be provided prior the event to everyone who registers.
