Whether you have been directly affected, are a witness to an incident or a support person, you may choose to make a report through the UNSW Gendered Violence Portal. Reports can be made anonymously and will remain confidential unless specifically stated by the person making the report.
You can report:

Incidents that happened to others

Incidents affecting your current ability to work or study at UNSW
You can report this even if the incident is not recent, and did not happen on a UNSW campus or in UNSW student accommodation, or during a UNSW activity.
If you require immediate emergency assistance, contact UNSW Security (9385 6666) or the Police (000).
If you feel you need to talk to someone right now by phone or online, you can call 1800Respect (1800 737 732). More details for on and off campus services are available here.
