What happens next?

What to expect when you report to UTS

What if I choose not to make a report? 

If you do not wish to make a report, you can still access help and support by making a disclosure.

Students can work with a UTS counsellor and/or a safety caseworker who will provide confidential support and assistance. They will also take you through the steps and support options, including the option to make a report at any time.

Staff may contact the People Unit or the Employee Assistance Program (Staff Connect). 

You can also report the incident at any time, even at a later date. Making a disclosure can help you to decide what to do.

Support for sexual harm

What if I don’t know what to do? 

It's normal to feel overwhelmed in these situations. By making a disclosure UTS will be able to understand your situation and provide support, including discussing the options available to you.

Support for sexual harm
