Preventing Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH)

Western Sydney University and the Australian Government does not tolerate sexual exploitation, abuse or harassment (SEAH) of any kind. SEAH is the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s (DFAT) Preventing Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment policy. The policy sets out expectations and minimum standards of behaviour, for all stakeholders in Australia and overseas.

University project leaders and partner organisations are required to complete rigorous due diligence and mitigate risks - see DFAT SEAH policy and the Western Sydney University Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy. Students at Western, are required to:

  1. Read and comply with the DFAT SEAH policy.
