Mission:

End Rape on Campus (EROC) Australia was founded in 2016, and works to end sexual violence at universities and residences through direct support for survivors and their communities; prevention through education; and policy reform at the campus, state, and federal levels.

Vision:

We envision a world in which each individual has an educational experience free from violence, and until then, that all survivors are believed, trusted, and supported.

Our Approach:

EROC Australia directly assists student survivors and their communities. Our work includes, but is not limited to, establishing support networks, mentoring student activists, and advocating for the realisation of the rights of students under applicable university policies and state and federal legislation. Though we are not mental health or legal professionals, we are able to connect survivors to mental health professionals and lawyers as needed.

Advocacy: 

EROC Australia advocates for fair and equitable sexual assault and interpersonal violence policies and legislation at campus, state and federal levels
