In 2023, KOI has updated its Prevention and Resolution of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Policy – https://koi.edu.au/policy_form/prevention-of-sexual-assault-and-sexual-harassment-policy . KOI is committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, respectful environment for its students and staff. The policy sets out KOI’s framework to prevent sexual assault and harassment, as well as reporting process for complaints and incidents.
KOI has 4 goals for the program defined for FY 2023-2024, to be achieved by fostering the 4E’s Framework (Encourage, Educate, Enable and Empower).

- Enable a community of trust and respect for all KOI Students and Staff who play a pivotal role in keeping the spirit of KOI community alive
- Empower KOI Students and staff to foster continued engagement with an aim to gather insights on how protected they feel with KOI support and to derive intelligence on continuous improvements.
