Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Excellence through diversity at UOW

At UOW, we strive to be among the top 1% of universities globally, a goal we can only achieve by attracting and retaining diverse talent. Our staff reflect the diversity of our broader community—in gender, sexuality, disability, and culture—and we celebrate both individual identities and their intersectionality.

We foster a culture where people can be their authentic selves, supported by policies that promote fairness, inclusion, and protection from discrimination and harassment. We welcome all, regardless of age, race, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship status, or economic background, and are committed to removing barriers so every staff member can thrive.

Equity, diversity and inclusion are not just principles we talk about—they must guide how we lead, how we work together, and how we inspire our community every day. If we are to achieve our bold goals, we must create a culture where everyone feels they truly belong, where all voices are valued, and where each person can thrive and contribute to our shared success. Professor G.Q. Max Lu AO Vice-Chancellor and President
