Higher Ed Tackles Gender-Based Violence Initiative

Australian Higher Education Industrial Association

The higher education sector is positioning itself to be a leader in addressing gender-based violence.

The peak body for the sector, in industrial relations, the Australian Higher Education Industrial Association (AHEIA) has been invited by the Gender Based Violence Directorate to have input into implementation of the Gender Based Violence Code (Code).

"The sector regards this is a highly important matter and is involved in a range of initiatives to improve knowledge and responses to gender-based violence (GBV)," the Executive Director of AHEIA, Craig Laughton, said.

AHEIA has produced a GBV guide for its 34 university members that will provide practical support for the implementation and ongoing operation of the Code across the sector.
