BENEFITS

The University aims to graduate students who are well placed to be the leaders of their chosen path. Modelling an inclusive workplace is one way in which we realise this aim. We provide our students with a broad educational experience that positions them to be citizens of the globe, intellectually and emotionally comfortable with difference. It is vital therefore that we focus on creating an inclusive campus where students and staff can be themselves and realise their full potential. Homophobia, transphobia and ignorance of the rights of others have no place in such a culture.”

Duc Dau Postdoctoral Research Fellow

As a bisexual woman of Asian heritage, finding myself welcomed and embraced by my chosen workplace is important to my productivity and wellbeing.

I became a UWA Ally when I was a student, and I remain an Ally as a member of staff. Being an Ally indicates that I support a workplace that respects and welcomes everyone. I am proud to be part of a network at the vanguard of inclusiveness
