Diversity Equity and Inclusion

At UWA we believe all members of our community should have the right to learn and work in an inclusive environment, where everyone is supported to reach their full potential.

We have a diverse community at UWA, and we celebrate this diversity of people, cultures and thought. By fostering a culture that promotes collaboration and harmony, we aim to make our campus a safe and enriching place for everyone, including visitors. At the same time, we continually review and strengthen our approach to ensure that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are at the heart of everything we do.

We recognise that people hold multiple identities, and that these may shape how they experience UWA. Our commitment to equity considers these intersecting experiences and aims to reduce and remove barriers so that all members of our community can learn, work and thrive.

The University is committed to the right to self-determination for First Nations peoples. The Indigenous Portfolio at UWA oversees strategies and policies relating to Indigenous staff and students across the University.
