Supporting LGBTQIA+ students and staff
Macquarie University supports and celebrates sexual and gender diversity.
Macquarie is a safe space for all students. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where LGBTQIA+ students and staff can flourish.
Harassment, sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, or any harmful behaviour impacting our LGBTQIA+ students is not acceptable in the Macquarie community.
Since 2011 Macquarie has ranked highly in the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) which recognises workplaces supporting the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
We celebrate and support our LGBTQIA+ students and staff through support services and initiatives, including:
Events
Events are held throughout the year including recognition of IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia & Transphobia).
These events help to raise awareness so that Macquarie is a safe and welcoming campus, where discrimination on the basis of sexual or gender identity is not tolerated, and where any homophobic behaviour is unwelcome.
