GBV Frameworks, Resources & Guidelines

Preventing and responding to gender-based violence requires clear policies, informed leadership and access to evidence-based resources.

This page brings together national frameworks, legislation, university guidance and practical tools that can assist universities, sporting programs and student leaders to create safer environments and strengthen institutional responses.

National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence (National Code)

The National Code requires universities and their affiliated programs – including sporting events on and off campus – to meet a national standard for preventing and responding to GBV. UniSport’s Good Practice Guidelines have been developed in line with the National Code, and this hub will be updated as requirements take effect.
