Consent Matters 

Consent Matters is our new, fully interactive online course to help all students to understand sexual consent, boundaries, respect and bystander or positive intervention. 

This course is for you if:

  • You are, or ever have been, dating or in a relationship
  • You want to be dating or in a relationship one day
  • You have friends or relatives who are dating or in relationships
  • You're married or in a long-term relationship
  • None of the above

Sex isn't for everyone, but everyone can benefit from learning about consent. It's important for everyone to understand consent so that we can look out for each other and live in safer, happier communities.
