Gender-based Violence Code 101

Join us for an interactive online workshop designed to help SEN members understand the new National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence, introduced to Parliament on February 6, 2025.

What you’ll get:

This session will provide valuable insights into gender-based violence and equip you to support students more effectively while contributing positively to your institution’s compliance with the new legislation.

Led by the lead drafter of the National Code from the Department of Education, Dr Renee Hamilton, who brings 20 years of experience in national gender-based violence policy, prevention, response, and advocacy — including work within the university sector — this workshop is an opportunity to deepen your understanding and make a meaningful impact.
