About Teach Us Consent Global

Teach Us Consent is a registered Australian charity organisation committed to pioneering innovative consent education to foster healthy relationships and reduce sexual violence among young Australians.

Founded in 2021 by Chanel Contos as a campaign for the Australian Government to mandate earlier and holistic consent education in Australian schools, the organisation is now focused on eradicating rape culture by centring consent, empathy and respect at the heart of sex education.

As part of The National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032 (National Plan), the 2023-24 Federal Budget provided a grant of $3.47 million for Teach Us Consent to curate, develop and distribute social media resources for young people aged 16 years and above about consent, sexual harm and healthy sexual relationships (the “Promoting Consent Initiative”).

Teach Us Consent is a youth-led organisation that focuses on preventing normalised sexual violence. Incidents of sexual violence are experienced at scale in Australia, but we believe through education we can drive the cultural shift needed to bring change in this space. Our organisation values collaboration and inclusivity and seeks to ensure voices from all cross sections of the community are given the opportunity to contribute to the Promoting Consent Initiative.
