We are determined to create a community based on dignity and respect where everyone is able to thrive free from harassment and bullying.
We want you and fellow students to feel valued and respected and able to study in a discrimination-free environment that promotes equality of opportunity and where difference is valued and respected by all - different voices, one community.
Our campaign across campus champions our Student Charter and highlights unacceptable behaviours and ensures students know where to report them via our Report and Support tool.
Student Charter
We want you to value the people you meet, and be a role model in the ways you treat people with respect, equity and dignity as part of our Student Charter, which outlines your responsibilities as a member of our community. Please read the Charter and be an advocate.
