What Consent Labs does

Consent Labs Ltd is an Australian ACNC-registered not-for-profit, founded in 2016 by Angelique Wan and Joyce Yu, that delivers evidence-based consent and respectful relationships education to schools, universities, and community organisations across Australia. Its core product is a portfolio of in-person workshop programs (High Schools, Tertiary, Professional Development, Parents & Carers) delivered by a distinctive youth-led near-peer facilitation model in which facilitators aged 20-25 hold Working With Children Checks and are trained in trauma-informed practice. The organisation has expanded its offering with a self-directed eLearning Module for universities aligned with the National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence, plus a Blended Learning Package combining digital and in-person delivery. Curriculum is co-developed and reviewed by an Expert Advisory Group including researchers from Monash, QUT, and former ACT Director of Public Prosecutions Katrina Marson, with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility compliance. The organisation operates from headquarters in Sydney and a second office in Melbourne opened in May 2024, and has reached over 180,000 people through 100+ institutional partners.

The business model is a hybrid of fee-for-service program delivery, government grants, foundation funding, and tax-deductible donations. Programs are quote-based with workshop sizes of 20-40 students or lecture formats up to 150 students, and multi-year contracts are standard. Revenue streams include Program Fees (paid by institutions for workshop delivery), Government Grants (e.g., A$5.2M from NSW Department of Communities and Justice in July 2025 for community-led domestic violence prevention, A$1.1M from University of Sydney in July 2023 for research, and A$4.4M+ from Community Capital in July 2024), Partnership Funding from corporate and foundation partners (Snow Foundation, Sydney Women's Fund, Geelong Foundation, Grant Thornton, The Funding Network), and voluntary individual donations. The organisation has produced a quantified Social Return on Investment analysis with Mandala Partners demonstrating A$3.48 in social benefit per dollar invested, and has earned NSW Department of Education quality-assured provider status in its Student Wellbeing external programs catalogue.

Distribution is direct enterprise field sales to educational institutions via website contact forms and Calendly scheduling, supplemented by government partnership channels and word-of-mouth referrals within the education sector. The customer base spans high schools, residential colleges, and universities across all Australian states and territories, with named partners including Melbourne University, University of Newcastle, UNSW, Bond University, Sydney Boys High School, and Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak. Management is led by Co-Founder and CEO Angelique Wan and Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Joyce Yu, supported by COO Aaron Osborne, an Expert Advisory Group, and a Board chaired by Jacqui Watt (former CEO of No to Violence).
