Sexual consent explained
Sexual consent is when everyone involved genuinely wants to take part in a sexual activity. It’s clearly communicated, freely given and reflects capacity.
Only 100% is consent
Before and during any sexual activity, you always need to be sure you’ve got consent. If you’re not sure you’ve got consent – you need to check and be sure.
Checking in with each other creates a safe space for positive sexual experiences and is essential for a healthy and pleasurable sex life.
Talking about consent
Talking about consent can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. There are lots of ways to do it.
Consent laws in Queensland
The Queensland Government has introduced the affirmative model of consent. This means everyone must say or do something to check for and communicate consent.
Support is available
Any sexual behaviour without consent is sexual violence. If you've experienced sexual violence, know that it's not your fault. There are a range of free and confidential support options - online, over the phone or in-person.
