What is consent?

Consent is when one person agrees or gives permission to another person to do something. It means agreeing to an action based on what you know of the situation and what that action involves, its possible consequences and having the option of saying no.

When it comes to sex in your relationship, consent is crucial. It’s important to remember that both of you have a responsibility to make sure that you both feel safe and comfortable every step of the way. In NSW, the age of consent is 16. If someone is under the age of 16, they still have the right to access sexual health services and support

Remember, your actions towards the person you’re with greatly affect the way they feel about you, themselves, the relationship, and sex in general.

  • asleep or unconscious
  • unsure or unaware of what they are consenting to
  • threatened, pressured or scared

It’s important to be sure that the person you’re with is happy and comfortable because non-consensual sexual activity (anything from touching and kissing to penetration) is against the law. The punishments for sexual assault are severe. Not only is it a crime, but the emotional consequences of sexual assault can last a lifetime.
