Staff Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

In striving to be truly excellent, we embed diversity and inclusion into the fabric of who we are and believe that achieving equity makes us better as a University and stronger as a community.

Gender equity

We foster an organisational culture that is inclusive; where staff irrespective of gender participate equally at all levels.

We are driving positive change as part of a globally recognised accreditation program. Expanding beyond gender and STEMM, the framework emphasises the role of intersectionality on the broader gender equity, diversity and inclusion agenda

LGBTIQA+ staff inclusion

We value and support our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse, intersex, queer and questioning, asexual and aromantic plus other related identities (LGBTIQA+) community at Monash.

Indigenous Australian staff

We're committed to providing equal opportunities and a culturally safe workplace for our Indigenous staff members.

Disability inclusion

We support an equitable and inclusive working environment for staff with disabilities, ongoing medical or mental health conditions.

Support for parents

We support staff who are parents through a range of programs, policies, and resources.

Support for carers

We recognise the importance of supporting caregiving staff in their roles as they contribute to their communities.

Equitable decision-making

We seek to eliminate unconscious bias, foster diversity of perspectives in decisions and enhance staff understanding of the Achievement Relative to Opportunity Framework.

Equal opportunity

We seek to provide an inclusive and flexible environment for staff by identifying and removing any remaining systemic barriers to equitable access and participation.
