ECU is committed to ensuring we provide a respectful, inclusive and safe environment for staff and students. Understanding consent, communication and respect is vital and our online training program, Consent Matters, helps to equip you with this knowledge to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.
We recognise that creating safe communities is a shared responsibility and we therefore strongly encouraged all ECU students to complete Consent Matters.
Students should complete this within their first teaching period as this module sets out many the expectations and values that ECU has regarding appropriate behaviour.
Consent Matters is an innovative, at-your-own-pace, e-learning module that explores the nature of sexual consent. It will advise you how to seek consent, how to recognise it and how to identify situations where it can’t be given. The latest edition draws on the latest developments in culture, law and global best practices to encourage good communication, clear boundaries and mutual respect in relationships , as well as exploring ways that students can support others and make a positive impact in their community.
Students can access Consent Matters on Canvas. You can log in using your student ID and password.
You need to complete all three modules of Consent Matters and achieve 80% or higher in all quizzes in order to pass.
If you're interested in learning more, please don't stop here – there is more to see, hear, and do. Check out our website for more information about sexual assault, sexual harassment and assisting others.
We recognise that Consent Matters may be challenging for some people, especially if they have been impacted by sexual harassment and/or assault.
If this is the case for you, and you are required to complete Consent Matters as a part of an ECU program, please email either your unit or program coordinator or equity@ecu.edu.au to opt out.
