The University of Sydney has recently released its 2023 Annual Report on Sexual Misconduct.
The University has recorded a total of 246 incidents – which is a 103% increase from 2022. While we understand that this rise may reflect the University’s awareness-raising activities, which encourage more individuals to report sexual misconduct, SUPRA and the Women’s Equity Network know that one incident of sexual misconduct on our campuses is one too many. We call on the University and all members of our Usyd community to work together to end sexual misconduct and domestic violence.
All students have the right to complain or disclose to the University through their complaints and disclosure process. The University has dedicated support services available through the Safer Communities Office to support anyone making a complaint or disclosure about sexual misconduct, domestic violence, bullying and harassment, or modern slavery. All reports, whether formal complaints or confidential disclosures, are handled with confidentiality and sensitivity by the University.
For more information on how to make a complaint or disclosure:

You can also contact SUPRA’s casework service to discuss making a disclosure or complaint, or to learn more about the process.
The SUPRA Women’s Equity Network supports all postgraduate women at the University of Sydney and provides a supportive space to empower and connect through different events and workshops. Whether you’re looking for support or want to engage in meaningful discussions that promote change, we welcome you to join our community.
