Let’s talk about consent

In this Shortcut episode, we chat to Julianne Elliott, a Senior Solicitor from Legal Aid NSW who specialises in educating young people about the law. She provides a brief overview of NSW's new sexual consent laws, her experiences working with young people and what community workers can do to learn more about the reforms.
