To create an inclusive university where everyone is treated fairly and with respect..
Where we feel valued and have a sense of belonging.
To create a culture where it is safe to speak up and speak out and where we are empowered to grow and realise our full potential.
Staff and students understand their personal responsibility to role model and promote equity and they feel supported to positively challenge inequity and bias, generating change for the benefit of the University, themselves, and wider society.
As a community we respect and value diversity to enable students and staff to realise and harness their potential life and careers.
We build better, stronger, frank conversation in the University about all forms of discrimination, including racism, to ensure discrimination is challenged and eliminated.
Leaders and people managers are exemplars and proactively advance equity, diversity, and inclusion
Our governance structures themselves are, and are felt to be, inclusive, transparent, supportive, and advance equity, diversity, and inclusion.
