Staff Respect Consultant

The Staff Respect Consultant is here to provide free and confidential support to ANU staff experiencing issues that may impact your work experience, engagement, career development and your health and wellbeing. This could include, but is not limited to, ablism, sexism, racism, discrimination, harassment, bullying and sexual harassment.

The Staff Respect Consultant has career and education experience in supporting vulnerable communities in university and not-for-profit settings. With knowledge and education in mental health, including mental health first aid, suicide intervention training and skills working with people in crisis, the priority is to work from person-centred and trauma-informed practice frameworks. This means that you will be treated with dignity and respect and will receive a transparent and confidential service that will empower you to make choices and connect with others.

They also contribute to HR policy development.
