Indigenous Australians engagement
QUT acknowledges its occupation of Aboriginal land, and recognises its obligations to the traditional owners, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, staff, visitors and communities.
By working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, QUT will address challenges faced not only by Indigenous Australians but also by all Australians.
Women in STEMM
The Women in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine) program aims to improve progression and retention of academic women in STEMM, through running support programs, removing barriers and biases, providing better access to leadership positions and actively involving senior staff.
LGBTIQA+ Ally Network
We are committed to providing an environment which values each member of its diverse community, and protects staff and students from bullying, harassment and unlawful discrimination. This includes staff and students who identify as lesbian; gay; bisexual; transgender; intersex; queer o questioning; asexual, agender or aromantic; and those with other diverse genders and sexualities (LGBTIQA).
Our Ally Network members are trained to understand sexuality and gender issues, and to provide 'safe zones', support and referral for staff and students who identify as LGBTIQA+. Allies are not identified as any particular sexuality or gender identity but represent a commitment to promoting QUT as a safe, inclusive and diverse university.
Equity at QUT
Equity is everybody's business. Everybody stands to benefit from increased diversity and breadth of opportunity.
Equity Services is dedicated to promoting equal opportunities and support for all students and staff.
