Getting assistance

Some situations and concerns need to be handed over to trained professionals, such as Emergency Services or specialists.

Dangerous, risky or really concerning behaviour 

If you or a fellow student is at immediate risk of harm it is essential to get assistance. An emergency situation might include someone:

  • being violent or threatening towards others
  • trying to hurt themselves or end their life (or intending to do so)
  • appearing very confused, not making sense or having significantly impaired functioning

Disclosure of past harm

If a fellow student discloses an experience of unwanted or threatening behaviour including sexual harassment or assault, we encourage you to connect with the *Learning Institute Safer Community unit or equivalent* for support with guidance and advice.
