When the harasser is also the person you serve

Health employees and students are expected to maintain professional care after inappropriate sexual behaviour occurs.

Without role-relevant preparation, staff and students can be uncertain what they are permitted to say and how to respond safely.

Managers and educators face equal uncertainty balancing safety with service continuity or clinical placement demands.

Practical capability empowers our current and future health workforce.

Holding Boundaries with Compassion

Learn how to set boundaries that guide interactions to a respectful place and allow all parties to move forward together.

Traditional sexual harassment can be black and white, right and wrong, us and them. Research shows that these responses can escalate behaviours, are difficult for staff and students to apply and alienate the people your organisation exists to serve.

Program Structure

Confidence and capability delivered in concise modules

Holding Boundaries with Compassion is an education program that delivers evidence-based best practice for preventing and responding to inappropriate sexual behaviour.

Traditional sexual harassment management cannot be readily applied to incidents involving patients, carers or others external to the organisation. That's why we created Boundary Line.

The program delivers five core modules in 5 to 15 minute units, supplemented by specialist extension modules for high-risk roles or placements. Designed to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and formatted for easy integration into your existing LMS.
