Find First Responders
Here to help you
We understand, if you are able, that you may like to talk with someone you trust about your experience
UNSW First Responders are students and staff who are trained to offer you confidential support. They understand that reporting gendered violence can be difficult and can provide you with guidance and support.
Should you choose to make a formal report, a UNSW First Responder can help you or they can complete the report on your behalf.
