  • Creating a safe and respectful community

    Bond University is dedicated to fostering a campus culture built on safety, respect, inclusion and accountability. All students have the right to live, study and participate in university life free from bullying, harassment, racism, discrimination and gender‑based violence.

    Every member of the Bond community is expected to uphold these standards through the Student Code of Conduct, which outlines behaviours that support dignity, integrity and mutual respect. These expectations apply across all in‑person and online environments, including classrooms, residential settings, workplaces and social spaces.

    Bond takes all forms of unsafe or inappropriate behaviour seriously. When concerns are raised, we act promptly and ensure that students affected by harm receive the support, information and reporting options they need.
     

    Respect @ Bond

    To help build a safer and more respectful community, Bond provides evidence‑based learning modules and training opportunities for all students. The Respect@Bond module builds awareness of respectful behaviours, consent, and the responsibilities we all share in preventing harm.
