Creating a culture of support at Macquarie

Our goal is to cultivate an environment where all students feel a part of the University community and can thrive as their authentic selves.

The Student Equity, Diversity and Inclusion team leads initiatives that support student diversity, including diversity in culture, language, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, socio-economic status, and religion.

In all of our work, we aim to promote student wellbeing, empowerment, respect, and ethical behaviour.

Our work includes:

  • understanding what the evidence tells us about supporting community diversity, and translating that evidence into practice at Macquarie University
  • providing advice about supporting equity, diversity, and inclusion practices
  • developing, delivering, and evaluating education with students and staff

Diversity workshops

Our workshops are free for all Macquarie students to join. These provide opportunities for you to develop skills which will help you build a safer and more inclusive community for all.
