Reporting harassment
What should I do if I'm being harassed or I see someone else being harassed?
Harassment, where you feel offended, humiliated or intimidated is unacceptable at UWA.
Harassment may include threats, abuse, insults or taunts based on a person’s characteristics or race. If you believe you are being harassed or see someone else being harassed – don't wait, say something.
Racial, sexual or cultural harassment and discrimination on UWA campuses, buses and bus stops should be reported immediately to UWA Campus Security.
Reporting an incident:
- If you are away from campus and require immediate assistance, call Western Australian Police on 000
- If you are on campus and need immediate assistance call the UWA Security Emergency Number: 6488 2222 (this is available 24/7).
- If something has happened to you or if you have observed something happening to a student (e.g. threatening behaviour, sexual assault, harassment, bullying) on-campus, complete this form.
- If you would like to talk someone about something you have experienced, get in touch with UWA Student Wellbeing or Guild Student Assist.
