The Department of Education consulted extensively on a National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence, gathering submissions from universities, higher education providers, student organisations, the Australian Human Rights Commission, and advocacy groups between June and July 2024. The department established an Expert Reference Group to guide code development and conducted targeted consultations with ten stakeholder groups including students, staff, LGBTIQ+ communities, disability advocates, First Nations representatives, CALD/migrant refugee women, lived experience advocates, gender-based violence experts, universities, and accommodation providers. The consultation process involved over 30 submissions from higher education institutions and related bodies, though specific policy recommendations, findings, or agreed code provisions are not detailed in these procedural documents.
