The program will be written by activist group Teach Us Consent, which has employed several new staff members to research the most effective approach. Â
Almost 70 per cent of teens who had viewed porn had not seen consent depicted, and many had a skewed understanding of safe-sex practices, Teach Us Consent founder Chanel Contos told the National Press Club earlier in September.
It's part of a push from the federal government to stamp out domestic and family violence.
Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commissioner Micaela Cronin released her third yearly update to parliament on Wednesday, which found progress being made by governments and communities was not yet at the scale or pace needed to save lives.
Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek reiterated commitments to support families before they reach crisis and place greater responsibility on perpetrators as she tabled the report in parliament.
Ms Plibersek said technology posed the biggest future threat to domestic and family violence.
"We don't pretend for a second we can put the genie back in the bottle when it comes to the avalanche of violent content that exists online," she said.
"But by restricting access and investing in age-appropriate 21st century sex education and porn literacy, we're giving kids the best possible chance to learn about consent and love from people they can trust."
Liberal spokeswoman for women Melissa McIntosh echoed calls for perpetrators to bear the brunt of responsibility instead of victims through reforms to bail laws and policing.
"A woman should not have to disappear in order to survive. The responsibility must sit where it belongs with a person choosing violence," she told the parliament.
It follows reports of sexual violence being at their highest level since national recording began 33 years ago.
The commission identified it as one of two "persistent" areas, alongside family law and justice systems, where people are experiencing unacceptable levels of harm.
"The scale of sexual violence in Australia demands sustained national investment and action, commensurate with the scale of the problem," Ms Cronin said.
"Collectively, we must send a clear message that these behaviours are not acceptable, and that people who have experienced sexual violence will be heard, treated with dignity and respect, and supported through their justice and healing journey."
The report notes almost six in 10 sexual assaults recorded by police occurred outside family and intimate partner relationships.
This underlined a "distinct national problem, not simply an extension of domestic and family violence".
