Did you know by law, you must follow the affirmative consent model before engaging in, and during, sexual activity?⁣
⁣
Any form of sexual offending is completely unacceptable.⁣
Consent can be given or withdrawn, at any time, for any reason. ⁣
⁣
There must be expressed consent every single time you engage in sexual activity. Consent can never be assumed, otherwise it may be considered an offence.⁣
⁣
Affirmative consent means that the people involved must actively ask that they have consent from each other. Their response can be in the form of saying "yes", or nodding. ⁣
⁣
This includes situations where a person has consented to the same or different sexual act with the same or different person before.⁣
⁣
In Victoria, all parties must freely agree to a sexual act for there to be consent.⁣
⁣
We have dedicated specialist detectives who investigate all forms of sexual offences. To make a report, contact your local police station or Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT).⁣
 ⁣
It is never too late to report an incident. ⁣
 ⁣
