Professional learning is fundamental to ensuring leaders, teachers and support staff develop the requisite knowledge, skills and understanding to support the implementation of respectful relationships education in their setting.
To assist with implementation of respectful relationships education in schools, a number of professional learning opportunities are currently available, including:
Self-paced Online Learning – released (May 2024)
Online self-guided professional learning modules have been developed for whole school professional learning and individual teachers.
These professional learning modules and accompanying support materials can be accessed through the Department for Education, Children and Young People Canvas portal. Staff can access the portal using the self-enrol link.

All professional learning opportunities are designed to:
- build capacity in schools to develop whole-school approaches to Respectful Relationships Education
- develop understanding of family, sexual and gender-based violence and abuse
- identify and use best practice teaching methods to support student learning.
