Respect Matters is an online training program designed to help create a campus culture where everyone feels safe, supported, and respected.
The program covers important topics like understanding consent, recognising gender-based violence, challenging harmful attitudes, and supporting others in your university community.
Co-designed by subject matter experts, the content is broken into short, manageable sections that are easy to understand, whether you're new to these topics or already have some knowledge. You'll work through real-life scenarios, case studies, and interactive activities that help you apply what you learn to actual situations.
All ECU students are strongly encouraged to complete Respect Matters during their first teaching period. This training covers ECU's expectations around respectful behaviour and helps you understand the values we share as a community.
Students can access Respect Matters on Canvas. You can log in using your student ID and password.
There are four modules in Respect Matters, each taking around 15 minutes. You need to complete all four modules of Respect Matters and achieve 80% or higher in all quizzes in order to pass.
We recognise that Respect Matters may be challenging for some people, especially if they have been impacted by gender-based violence, including sexual harassment or sexual assault.
If this is the case for you, and you are required to complete Respect Matters as a part of your course or an ECU program, please email equity@ecu.edu.au to opt out. We don’t require any evidence to opt out.
