About SASS
Get Support
At SASS, we believe in equipping individuals, schools, workplaces, and communities with the tools to prevent sexual violence. Together, let's challenge harmful norms, promote consent education, and foster a culture of respect. Join us in shaping a world where prevention is paramount and sexual violence is no more.
We are specialist educators and practitioners dedicated to preventing sexual violence through evidence-based, best practice programs. Our work is gender transformative, underpinned by universal values and informed by feminist and intersectional theory, and informed by the lived experiences of victim-survivors in our community.
Prevention is not something any one sector can achieve alone—it requires partnership, trust, and collaboration. We work alongside organisations and industries of all kinds, co-designing solutions that are practical, achievable, and tailored to context. Our team brings both deep expertise and a commitment to building the strengths of those we work with. Our programs go beyond raising awareness—they drive meaningful change in attitudes, behaviours, and systems. We equip schools, organisations and communities with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to respond effectively, prevent harm, and foster lasting cultural transformation.
Partnering with us represents a commitment to a future in which safety, respect, and equity are not aspirational ideals, but lived realities.
All workplaces now have a positive duty of care to ensure to prevent sexual harassment and abuse. Learn about initiatives to promote respectful workplaces and empower employees to combat sexual violence.
This program is tailored to each workplace based on the size and industry that you work in. Talk to the Primary Prevention Workplace Team about your specific requirements and timeline.
We collaborate with schools to implement effective prevention strategies and create a safer environment for children across Tasmania.
Whether we are working in a primary school class or training medical students in their final years – SASS offers a range of programs to support students, caregivers, teachers and Safeguarding Officers (including recognising and responding to Harmful Sexual Behaviour).
Please contact the Primary Prevention Team to discuss the options available for your school.
Our individual training programs are tailored to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to create a safer society.
Ranging from practical tips for parents, through to specialist training for health professionals, SASS condenses the most current evidence into accessible, interesting and interactive short courses. These courses are offered in person throughout Tasmania and online.

Partners in Prevention (PiPs) was a pilot program delivered in 2025, adapting SASS’s evidence-based, trauma-informed CaRE program for university residential settings. Delivered in partnership with the University of Tasmania and La Trobe University, PiPs strengthened respectful cultures within student communities while contributing to the evidence base for what works in sexual violence prevention, with evaluation findings being published in 2026.
Please get in touch with us if you would like to know more about PiPs or if you would like to partner with SASS.
