The National Student Safety Survey is being conducted by the Social Research Centre from 6 September - 3 October 2021. This is the second national survey under the Respect. Now. Always. Initiative and aims to measure student perceptions of safety at Australian universities and experiences relating to sexual assault and sexual harassment. The University of Queensland is committed to ensuring our campuses are safe and respectful environments for all members of the community and are actively supporting the roll-out of this survey across our campuses. The survey will be distributed via email from the Social Research Centre to 10,000 randomly selected UQ students to ensure results are representative of the student population. Participation in the survey is voluntary and no matter your circumstances, views or experiences, your participation in the survey is important to help inform and improve student safety and wellbeing services and policies at UQ.
We understand that answering questions on these topics may cause some people distress. The Sexual Misconduct Support Unit (SMSU) is a safe and supportive place for the UQ community to access support and guidance.
