Consent Education & Healthy Relationships Programs for Schools in Perth and WA
Our Consent & Relationships suite is the foundation of everything we do. Grounded in the Commonwealth Consent Policy Framework and designed by qualified public health practitioners, these sessions give young people the language, skills, and confidence to navigate consent and healthy relationships in their everyday lives.
These programs are suitable for all genders and can be delivered to split or mixed groups. Each session stands alone - you can book one session or work through the full suite.
Each session can be booked individually - no need to complete the full suite. Sessions are designed to build on each other but work equally well as standalone programs.
Healthy Relationships
Foundations
60 min
This session helps participants understand what makes relationships healthy, unhealthy, or abusive across all contexts - friendships, family, and romantic partnerships - and builds the skills to recognise warning signs early. Because unhealthy relationships rarely start out that way.
-
A clear framework for understanding the full spectrum of relationship dynamics - not just the extreme end. Participants learn to identify where a relationship sits on that spectrum and why the space between healthy and abusive is where most harm lives.
-
How unhealthy and dangerous relationship patterns develop gradually - and the early warning signs that are easy to miss or dismiss when you're inside the relationship. Covers how trust is built and then exploited.
-
How power operates in relationships, what control looks like in practice, and why it is so often invisible to the person experiencing it - and sometimes even framed as love or protection.
-
What personal boundaries actually are - not a list of rules, but an understanding of what you need to feel safe and respected - and how to communicate and maintain them across different relationship types.
-
Practical guidance for young people navigating the complex reality of supporting someone they care about - without making it worse. Because knowing something is wrong and knowing what to do about it are two very different things.
-
Suggested for Years 7–12
An excellent standalone session for any year group, and the recommended starting point for the relationships strand of this suite.
Deep Dive
60 min
This extended workshop goes beyond red flags and communication skills to explore the deeper social and cultural forces that shape relationship expectations - challenging the assumptions young people often don't even realise they're carrying.
-
How rigid expectations about how men and women "should" behave filter into how we give and receive affection, express conflict, set limits, and understand our own needs - and how those expectations make unhealthy dynamics easier to sustain.
-
Revisiting power dynamics through a wider lens, examining how systemic inequality shows up inside individual relationships and makes certain patterns of control and compliance feel normal rather than harmful.
-
The invisible scripts we absorb about how relationships are supposed to work - who pursues, who gives in, who gets to be angry, who has to apologise - and how those scripts make it easier for unhealthy dynamics to pass as normal.
-
The beliefs we carry about which emotions are acceptable to express, and for whom. When emotions are suppressed rather than processed, they find other outlets - unacknowledged anger becomes control, unacknowledged fear becomes aggression. Understanding the link between emotional permission and relational behaviour is foundational to building genuinely healthy relationships.
-
How different rules apply to different genders around sex, desire, emotional expression, and social behaviour - and the harm those double standards cause not just for women, but for everyone expected to live inside them.
-
Suggested for Years 10–12
Most powerful when delivered after the Healthy Relationships Foundations session, but suitable as a standalone for senior cohorts.
Consent
Foundations
60 min
Grounded in the Commonwealth Consent Policy Framework, this session gives participants a clear, practical understanding of what consent looks like in everyday life - and the language to navigate it confidently. Most young people have heard the word "consent" - very few have been given the actual tools to navigate it.
-
What consent actually means under Australian law, the difference between agreeing and genuinely consenting, and the circumstances in which consent cannot legally be given - including age, capacity, and situational factors.
-
Moving beyond yes/no binaries to explore the full spectrum of consent - and the many layers behind why someone might say yes or no in a given situation. Includes the social, emotional, and situational factors that shape consent decisions.
-
A practical activity building the real language and skills to communicate consent clearly in everyday interactions - and to recognise when consent has been withdrawn. Students practise real phrases, not scripts.
-
Scenario-based learning exploring the reasons behind consent decisions, building empathy and critical thinking around complex situations. Students work through real examples that reflect the grey areas they are likely to encounter.
-
Clear, non-judgemental definitions that give participants a shared language for conversations about sex, relationships, and consent - removing the ambiguity that often makes these conversations harder than they need to be.
-
Suggested for Years 7–12
Recommended as a starting point - all other programs in this suite build on the foundations covered here.
Deep Dive
60 min
Building on the Foundations session, this extended program goes deeper into the social and situational forces that complicate consent - and equips participants with the skills to recognise harm, support others, and challenge the norms that allow it to continue.
-
Understanding the critical difference - and why you can violate someone's consent without ever crossing a stated boundary. Explores how boundary-setting language is sometimes used to shift responsibility onto the person experiencing harm.
-
Unpacking coercion, coercive control, love bombing, and gaslighting - how each works, why they are so effective, and how to recognise them in real relationships. Includes practical scenarios so participants can identify these tactics when they encounter them.
-
How intoxication affects decision-making and the capacity to consent, including drink spiking, over-supplying, and peer pressure tactics used to deliberately compromise consent. Covers the legal position and harm-minimisation strategies.
-
Clear definitions and legal distinctions - including catcalling, stealthing, and image-based abuse - that are often dismissed as minor or normal. Explores the spectrum of harm and why all of it matters.
-
Understanding the four trauma responses and why victim-survivors may not react the way people expect - and directly unpacking the victim-blaming myths and double standards that rely on those assumptions.
-
Practical skills for responding when someone discloses harm - what to say, what not to say, how to honour their experience, and how to connect them with appropriate support without taking over their decision-making.
-
Suggested for Years 9–12
Best delivered after Consent Foundations, but can be delivered independently for older year groups.
