WHO WE ARE

We are a young and vibrant university and a powerhouse of learning and teaching excellence. We assert our standing as a significant research-intensive university aiming for a position in the top 1% globally and understand this can only be achieved by attracting and retaining a diverse blend of talent. Our staff reflect the diversity of our community – in gender, sexuality, disability and cultural diversity. We recognise and celebrate each of those individually and recognise their intersectionality.

MORE ABOUT US

Equity and social justice, mutual respect and collegiality, diversity of cultures, ideas and peoples are just a few of the core values by which the University of Wollongong operates.

In 2015 the Human Rights Commission ranked UOW as among the most LGBTIQ+ friendly university in Australia.

As a Bronze employer in the AWEI, UOW is an employer of choice for trans and gender diverse people. Applicants are able to speak with the Recruitment team at uowrecruitment@uow who have attended Ally training.

We are a place where all people can expect to study and work safely, free from discrimination, harassment or vilification.

In 2011 the University of Wollongong started the Ally Network, a network of allies consisting of students and staff supporting or identifying as LGBTI, which now boasts more than 120 members. Allies provide a safe and respectful environment to help make UOW a better place to work and study.

Marcus O’Donnell Journalism Program Convenor

UOW is a tremendously supportive place for LGBTI staff and students. We have openly gay, lesbian and trans staff across all levels. I was hired into the journalism program based in large part on my experience as editor in the gay and lesbian media. Because UOW is a regional university in an area that can still be challenging for LGBTI people, its role as a beacon of openness and support is particularly important.
