Contact Safer Community
Safer Community is a free and confidential support service for La Trobe staff and students. You can report concerning, threatening, inappropriate, or uncomfortable behaviour, including sexual harm you have experienced or witnessed at the University.
If you are a student
We can assist you with issues involving problem behaviours by other students, concerns you may have about your safety, or experiences in your personal life with no connection to La Trobe University.
Please note: if you are a student and your concern relates to an administrative/ academic issue or a staff member, please contact Student Complaints on (03) 9479 5308.
If you are a staff member
We can provide expert advice and information about problem student behaviour that may leave you feeling concerned, threatened or uncomfortable. We will offer you options and referrals to help resolve your concerns and keep yourself and others safe. We are also available to run workshops and develop resources for your area.
You may also connect with Safer Community to report concerns of bullying, harassment, discrimination, sexual harm, or other concerns related to workplace or experiences in your personal life. Safer Community will provide you with a private meeting to discuss your concerns, and support you with expert advice and referrals to relevant University support services, such as Staff Wellbeing Connect, EAP, or Human Resources.
