Safety | Respect | Care | Consent

Sexual harm is never okay.

Bond University and the Bond University Student Association (BUSA) are jointly committed to a healthy culture of respect and responsibility that provides for a safe and supportive campus for everyone.

Bond University has a no wrong door approach to sexual harm. The Student Support Strategy outlines what Bond University has actioned and what actions are being pursued to ensure the safety of every student.

Bond has specialist staff trained in responding to serious incidents and providing the appropriate support and privacy to victims of sexual harm and cooperates with Queensland Police by assisting with enquiries and investigations.

You are encouraged to report any incidents of sexual harm. Whether you are a victim, bystander or a support person; if you wish to report an incident now, we encourage you to make use of our updated BondCare reporting form.
