The լÄи£Àû Equity, Diversity and Inclusion strategy prioritises the development of resources, training, and initiatives to equip students and staff, and is informed by the lived experience of and in dialogue with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culturally and linguistically diverse communities..Â
Diversity and Inclusion training modules, inclusive language guidelines, and the development of ±«±·³§°Â’s first culturally inclusive calendar provide a foundation for evolving action and to be better humans as active bystanders and allies in combatting racism.Â
Anti-racist action requires all members of a community to challenge racism in all its forms and report racist incidents. It requires positive demonstration through behaviours and the respect we show others. Racism and religious vilification can be reported through the լÄи£Àû Complaints Portal a²Ô»å complaints can be made anonymously. Â
