If you are thinking of reporting to the police, you can choose to have a forensic medical examination through Yarrow Place Rape and Sexual Assault Service. This examination is most useful within 72 hours of the rape or sexual assault. If you live in a country area, this service is offered by Country Health SA at your general hospital. Contact your local police for further details.
If you have been subjected to sexual assault or sexual harassment, you may be faced with a number of decisions. This page provides some of the options you may wish to consider, so that you can make your own decisions about how you wish to proceed or deal with an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment.
You have control of what action you take (including no action) and you can change your mind. You do not have to make a decision quickly and it is important that you make the decision that is right for you. Whatever you decide to do, you do not have to go through this alone. There are many support services available to you through SAIBT & CELUSA and other external organisations.
You may decide that you do not want to make a formal report to the College or Police. If so, you can still access support, both from the College and externally, to talk confidentially with someone who can help you make the decisions that feel right for you. No matter when the incident occurred, support is always available. The support is free and will not pressure you to report the sexual assault.
Click here to access the range of support services available to you.
SAIBT & CELUSA takes all allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment seriously and has specific responsibilities when dealing with allegations made against our students and staff. We can and do investigate these reports. This can mean taking the appropriate action in conjunction with the Police, professional bodies or other government agencies.
If you wish to disclose or report an incident to the College, we encourage you to make contact with one of our designated First Responders who are specially trained to respond to disclosures or reports of sexual assault and sexual harassment and can advise you of your options.
Once you have considered your options you may choose whether or not you wish to proceed with a formal report. The process will differ slightly for students and staff, and depending on whether the perpetrator is a student or a staff member.
Report an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment to SAIBT & CELUSA.
Unless you are under the age of 18, only you can make a decision about reporting sexual assault to the Police. You can report an incident to the police at any time by calling 000 in an emergency or 131 444 (non-emergency). Police are well trained to provide assistance and advice to people who have been sexually assaulted and there are a range of reporting options available to you, including:
When reporting the incident to the Police, they will discuss with you the need for a medical examination for evidentiary purposes. This examination will only take place with your consent. This is where a doctor conducts a thorough physical examination and collects evidence that may help the Police in building a case against the person who sexually assaulted you. The medical examination should take place as soon as possible. It is less likely as time passes that there will be any physical evidence for the doctor to collect.
Further information is available on the Victims of Crime South Australia website.
Reports of sexual harassment can be made to the Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC) of South Australia on (08) 8207 1977. You can visit the EOC website for details of the definitions of sexual harassment and the process for making complaints.
International students who have been subjected to sexual assault or sexual harassment can often be fearful of what this can mean for them in terms of costs to access services, privacy in accessing services and if it will have any effect on their student visa. The following questions are common concerns raised by international students:
No. If you are reporting a sexual assault or sexual harassment you do not need to tell the Department of Home Affairs as it does not have any affect upon your visa as an international student.
This applies to reports of sexual assault to the police, reports of sexual harassment to the Equal Opportunity Commission as well as reports of sexual assault or sexual harassment to SAIBT & CELUSA. SAIBT & CELUSA will not inform the Department of Home Affairs if you have made a report of sexual assault or sexual harassment to the college.
It is your decision who you tell if you have been sexually assaulted or sexually harassed, even if you are aged under 18 years. It is important to talk with people you trust, feel safe with and who will support you.
Sometimes people who have been sexually assaulted or sexually harassed may fear that others will not believe them if they tell them, or fear that others will blame them for the sexual assault or sexual harassment. It is helpful to talk things through with someone who will listen in a non-judgemental way and who understands the effects of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
There is a range of free and confidential support available through SAIBT & CELUSA or externally and we encourage all students to make use of these services.
There is some helpful information about making the decision about who to talk to following a sexual assault or sexual harassment in the booklet called “What Choices do I Have?”.
There are services available free of charge to anyone in South Australia who has been subjected to sexual assault or sexual harassment.
Yarrow Place Rape and Sexual Assault Service will provide free medical and counselling services to people aged 16 years and over who have been raped or sexually assaulted.

You do not need to have reported the sexual assault to police to be eligible for services at Yarrow Place. Information about services you access at Yarrow Place is confidential and subject to legal constraints. The situations when Yarrow Place cannot guarantee confidentiality are:
There is also a range of support available through SAIBT & CELUSA and externally and we encourage all students to make use of these services.
First Responders are members of the SAIBT & CELUSA community who, as part of their substantive role, are a first point of contact for anyone who has been subjected to sexual assault or sexual harassment. First Responders are specially trained to provide you with information on the support services and reporting options available to you. They understand that reporting sexual assault or sexual harassment can be difficult and they will listen to your concerns without judgement and guide you to the right services. They will respect your right to choose services and whether to make a formal report to the university or the police.
Please note, First Responders are a point of contact regarding reporting options and support.

There are a number of options available for disclosing or reporting an incident of sexual assault or harassment to the College, including reporting the incident online. This online form can be used by SAIBT & CELUSA students and staff to report an incident of sexual assault or harassment and by someone who has witnessed an incident or is a support person for someone who has experienced sexual assault or harassment. It is important to note that, if you are reporting on behalf of another person, you must have their consent before you do so.
All complaints of sexual assault and sexual harassment are directed to the Counsellor or the College Director, depending on whether the incident relates to a student, a staff member, or a visitor on campus.
Before you complete the online form, we encourage you to read the FAQs for reporting an incident online for more information about the process.

Supporting someone who has disclosed sexual assault or sexual harassment can have a big impact on their recovery and willingness to access support services. The following steps are designed to equip SAIBT & CELUSA students and staff with the skills to respond to disclosures in a compassionate, respectful and helpful manner. The University has also developed a Guide for Staff that sets out our approach to supporting people who disclose or report sexual assault or harassment.
1. Listen and Support
2. Establish immediate safety
If, after listening to the person, you determine that there is an immediate danger from the perpetrator (or others) or an immediate medical or physical emergency:
3. Consider informing an appropriate staff member
It is important that you allow the person to decide how to report an incident and who is informed, but also recognise that you are not responsible for their decisions. If you feel that you need advice or guidance, you may contact:
4. Provide information about options
Your role as a support person is to provide information to help the person make decisions and then refer them to trained professionals who can provide specialist help. It is really important that the person disclosing has a sense of control over what happens next. You can help by providing information about their support options and offering to make appointments and go with them if you are able to. Try not to make assumptions about what they want to do and do NOT tell them what you think they should do. The choice is entirely up to them. Listen patiently and check by asking: “what would you like to do?” and “how can I best help you?”
There is a range of support services available to students and staff who have experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment.
Reporting an Incident
Unless the person disclosing is under the age of 18 years, the decision to report an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment is entirely up to them. Do not assume that their disclosure to you means they want to make any kind of a report about the sexual assault or sexual harassment. Your role is to provide information to help them make decisions and then support those decisions. It is important to be patient as they may need some time to consider what they would like to do.
There are a number of reporting options available to students and staff who have experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment.
If a SAIBT & CELUSA student or staff member aged under 18 years has informed you that they were sexually assaulted you have an obligation to report this to the Child Abuse Report Line. Find more information on this.
The person disclosing may decide they do not wish to report the incident or access any of the support services. This decision is completely up to them and should be respected. It can take time for some people to decide what, if any, action they would like to take following a sexual assault and people can change their minds over time too.
5. Look after Yourself
Offering support to a survivor of sexual assault can be emotionally distressing and you may find that you need support yourself. It is recommended that you look after your own mental health and talk to a trained counsellor:
In seeking support for yourself, please ensure you maintain confidentiality. This means speaking to someone who is bound by confidentiality (e.g. a counsellor) or ensuring you do not include any names or details which would identify those involved when speaking to friends or family.
Here are a few ways you might help someone in this situation:
1. Listen to them and refrain from judgement, commentary or question about the details of what happened.
2. Provide information about their initial options for seeking support:
The most helpful thing you can do is to keep the conversation firmly focussed on support options and avoid discussing the details of the allegation.
Sexual Assault is any type of unwanted sexual act inflicted upon a person without their free and voluntary consent and may involve a broad range of behaviours from unwanted sexualised touching through to penetration. Sexual assault is characterised by behaviours that involve the use of force, threats, coercion or control towards a person, and makes that person feel uncomfortable, distressed, frightened or threatened, and/or is carried out in circumstances under which the person has not freely agreed or consented to, or is incapable of giving consent.
Sexual harassment is an unwelcome sexual advance or request for sexual favours or conduct of a sexual nature which makes a person feel offended, humiliated and/or intimidated. In the context of the University’s policy and procedures, sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to:
Consent is the free and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity of any kind. In the context of the University’s policy and procedures, consent is defined as the act of willingly agreeing to engage in sexual activity and requires that a person is able to freely choose between two options: yes, and no. This means that there must be an understandable exchange of affirmative words which indicates a willingness to participate in mutually agreed upon sexual activity. The age of consent to sexual activity in South Australia is 17 but this increases to the age of 18 if a person is in a position of authority over another person. The age of consent to sexual activity and the definition of consent may vary across Australian state and territory jurisdictions as well as internationally.
Consent will not be considered to have been given where a person:
Consent cannot be assumed where a person:
If you’re still struggling with consent, we strongly encourage you to complete the ‘Consent Matters’ online training module.
This short video may also help increase your understanding of consent.

SAIBT & CELUSA do not tolerate any form of sexual harassment and expects all members of the college community, its visitors and agents to treat each other with respect, courtesy and consideration. We are committed to providing a respectful, safe and inclusive environment that is free of sexual assault and sexual harassment. This includes the development of standalone policy and procedures for receiving disclosures and reporting incidents of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
All staff and students are required to read and understand the SAIBT & CELUSA Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response Policy.
SAIBT & CELUSA’s investigation into complaints about sexual assault or sexual harassment will be undertaken in line with principles of natural justice and in a manner that is respectful to both the complainant and the respondent. Our response to complaints about sexual assault and sexual harassment will be based on the following principles:
If you have been subjected to sexual assault or sexual harassment, you may be faced with a number of decisions. The College provides a range of support, disclosure and reporting options for students and staff who have experienced or witnessed sexual assault or sexual harassment.
If you wish to disclose or report an incident to the College, we encourage you to make contact with one of our designated First Responders who are specially trained to respond to disclosures of sexual assault or sexual harassment and can advise you of your options.
You may also choose to disclose or report the incident online at any time.
Whatever you decide to do, you do not have to go through this alone. There are many support services available to you through SAIBT & CELUSA and other external organisations.
You may disclose or report an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment by raising it with a First Responder. You should advise the First Responder whether you wish to make a report of the incident. Reporting an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment will initiate an investigation within SAIBT & CELUSA.
If you decide to make a report, the First Responder will advise you of your support options and, if needed, assist you with reporting the matter to the Police (for sexual assault matters) if you choose to do so.
All investigations will be undertaken, following the principles of natural justice, and in a way that is respectful to both the complainant and the respondent. We will reinforce the importance of confidentiality with the complainant, respondent and any support people for both parties.
If the incident has been reported to the Police or to the Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC), we will not take any action that may compromise the police investigation. We will continue to make support resources available during this period. We may also take other interim measures to ensure your safety and that of other members of the SAIBT & CELUSA community, following consultation with the Police or the EOC.
On completion of the police or EOC investigation, the university may undertake appropriate actions in alignment with its policies, code of conduct and bylaws.
Information gathered during the SAIBT & CELUSA investigation will be documented by the investigator and a report will be prepared. The decision about any action required, arising from the investigation, will be made by the College Director.
Where it is determined that a complaint is substantiated, SAIBT & CELUSA will decide upon the appropriate disciplinary actions aligned with:
As a complainant, you have the right to withdraw your complaint at any stage of the process. However, we may continue to act on the complaint to ensure your safety and that of other members of the SAIBT & CELUSA community.
There are five potential outcomes arising from a complaint about an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment. One or more of the following outcomes may apply:
1. Referral to a specialised counselling and medical service (such as Yarrow Place Rape and Sexual Assault Service) or the SAIBT & CELUSA Counsellor
2. Potential disciplinary action for the respondent such as suspension, expulsion or program leave (if they are a student), or counselling and/or disciplinary action (if they are a staff member); and/or
3. Identification of any changes in college policies, procedures, training or contractual arrangements; and/or
4. Police investigation and possible prosecution via the relevant criminal justice system in the state, territory or country where the sexual assault took place for sexual assault offences. Complaints of sexual harassment may result in further investigation or conciliation, as determined by the EOC or AHRC
5. Where there is an unproven complaint, no action.
Where the complainant is a student and is dissatisfied with the management of the complaint, they can contact the state ombudsman.

There is a range of support options available to you if you have experienced sexual assault or harassment. It doesn’t matter if the incident occurred recently or a long time ago, if it happened on-campus or off-campus, or whether you are a student or a staff member. Support is always available and we encourage you to make use of the free and confidential services both at SAIBT & CELUA or, if you prefer, outside of the University.
People who have been subjected to sexual assault or sexual harassment can experience a range of effects which can have an impact on their studies. The college may be able to help you by getting extensions on assignments, extra time in exams or deferred exams. You should contact our Counsellor to make an appointment as soon as possible to discuss your options and to seek emotional support.
Support is always available and we encourage you to make use of the free and confidential services both at SAIBT & CELUSA or, if you prefer, outside of the University.
You can anonymously seek confidential support from Lifeline Australia 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling 13 11 14 or by accessing the crisis support chat between 6.30pm and 11.30pm 7 days a week.
You can also contact the UniSA Out-of-Hours Crisis Line on 1300 107 441 or text 0488 884 163 from 5.00 PM to 9.00 AM on weekdays, 24 hours on the weekends and public holidays.
Alternatively you can also call the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732. This is a free, 24 hour a day/7 day a week service which also offers an online chat service.
Disclosure is telling someone about an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment and/or seeking advice or support without necessarily initiating a formal report with the college or externally to the police or Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC) for sexual harassment. This does not preclude you from making a formal report to the college or the police at a later stage – you can do so at any time.
Please note: If you are under the age of 18 and disclose a sexual assault, the South Australian Institute of Business and Technology is legally obliged to report the matter to the Child Abuse Report Line (CARL).
Reporting an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment is a formal process, requiring a response from the college, in line with relevant policies and procedures. This can mean taking the appropriate action in conjunction with the police, professional bodies or other government agencies, such as the Equal Opportunity Commission, in order to investigate and resolve the matter.
You can also choose to report the incident to the police or Equal Opportunity Commission.
The information you provide is treated confidentially and information shared only with those who need to know in order to investigate and resolve the matter. However, there are exceptions, where the college may need to make further disclosures, including:
Yes. It is up to you what information you provide to us and you can use the online reporting system when you want to ensure that the college is aware that an incident happened, but you don’t want to reveal your identity. If you decide to make an anonymous report, we are limited in the follow-up action we can take. For example, the college is unlikely to commence a formal investigation based upon an anonymous report. However, if a number of anonymous reports highlight particular activities or areas of risk, the college may take steps to reduce the risk of further incidents occurring.
You may also make an external anonymous report through the ‘Sexual Assault Report Anonymously’ (SARA) website.
If you are under the age of 18 and report a sexual assault, the South Australian Institute of Business and Technology is legally obliged to report the matter to the Child Abuse Report Line (CARL), which is part of the Department for Child Protection (DCP). Workers from DCP may get in touch with you, especially if your safety is at risk. DCP will also forward the information about the sexual assault to the police. The police may contact you to discuss what happened and if you would like to report it to the police for investigation.
SAIBT & CELUSA has a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment and sexual assault. However, we will never take action without conducting a full investigation during which the respondent will be provided with the complaint details and given an opportunity to respond. Students or staff accused of sexual assault or sexual harassment can take the following steps:
Acting immediately when you may be upset, angry, confused or shocked is unlikely to help your case. It is always better to seek advice and support first so that you can take informed action.
You are entitled to understand your rights and the process of a college investigation. Asking questions about this will never be linked to an assumption of wrongdoing.
Students can access free and confidential emotional support from the Counsellor.
Staff can access free and confidential emotional support from the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Interim Action
In some situations, SAIBT & CELUSA may need to limit your contact with the college during an investigation. This is not a punishment. It may be necessary to protect yourself from further complaints. If SAIBT & CELUSA decides that interim action is required, you will be notified in writing and have the option to appeal this decision.
Police Investigation
A report may be made to the police as well as the university. In this case, SAIBT & CELUSA cannot perform its own investigation until the police investigation has concluded. SAIBT & CELUSA can use information from, or the outcome of, a police investigation in its own internal investigation. SAIBT & CELUSA may pass information to police when someone is at immediate or significant risk or when the police have asked us to.
Disclosing an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment is a big step to take for the person disclosing, so it’s important to respond with empathy and to offer support. For detailed information on what you can say, do and how you can help, please see the providing support page.
