The revision of the TEQSA Sexual Violence Good Practice Note (Practice Note) presents an important opportunity to embed primary prevention approaches to stop sexual violence before it starts. The evidence is clear that a comprehensive and holistic approach to preventing violence against women and other gender-based violence should involve a suite of interdependent and interlinked strategies.

This submission outlines opportunities to integrate the primary prevention evidence base including actions that address the broader social context of gender inequality that gives rise to gender-based violence.
