Abstract	Good practice notes offer practical advice and examples of good practice to guide operations in regard to specific, higher education issues. The good practice notes are intended to support and promote the quality assurance approaches of providers. This Good Practice Note is intended to support higher education providers to better understand, prevent, identify and respond to sexual assault and sexual harassment. The information in this Good Practice Note is intended to provide specific and practical guidance. It aims to assist providers in considering how they may prevent, identify and respond to sexual assault and sexual harassment. Each provider should respond appropriately in the context of their institution. It is important to note that the guidelines for good practice are not regulatory requirements for higher education providers but, rather, seek to illustrate best practice examples. When it comes to the safety and wellbeing of staff and students, all providers are undoubtedly committed to implementing a best practice approach. The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency's (TEQSA's) assessment activities will only focus on compliance with the "Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2015" (HES Framework) and other regulatory requirements, as applicable. This Good Practice Note should be read in conjunction with (TEQSA's) "Guidance Note: Wellbeing and Safety" and "Guidance Note: Grievance and Complaint Handling." The good practice in this note was drawn from providers, academic literature and expert advice. This Good Practice Note contains Good Ideas and Good Practice Examples. The Good Ideas are simple and discrete ideas and marked with a [light bulb], whilst the Good Practice Examples include substantial evidence or illustrations of good practice at a certain provider.
