Staff members or students may seek advice or complain under these procedures if they believe that they have been subjected to sexual harassment or harassment on any of the grounds nominated in the university's equal opportunity policy. Sexual harassment is an unwelcome sexual advance or unwelcome request for sexual favours or other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, in circumstances in which a reasonable person would anticipate that the person harassed would be offended, humiliated or intimidated.

Examples of harassment include intrusive or inappropriate questions or comments about a person's private life, unwanted written, telephone or electronic messages, promises or threats relating to a person's status in the workplace or as a student, physical violence or the threat of physical violence. The university's specially appointed advisers are available to assist staff and students.
