A national ombudsman role has been created to help support university students who are victims of sexual assault.
Years of advocacy has helped create the independent student watchdog, after shocking statistics about high numbers of university sexual assaults, and a failure to address complaints.
One-in-20 people had been sexually assaulted at university, and one-in-six sexually harassed, according to one survey.
The new independent National Student Ombudsman will be able to investigate complaints about a broad range of issues.
It will also be able to make recommendations about what a university should do to address a concern, compel information and documents, and to enter universities as part of an investigation and force people to provide evidence.
