Equal opportunity and diversity

    Overview Cultural and religious diversity Sexual and gender diversity Women on campus Disability and health conditions Resources and training EO contact officers Discrimination and harassment

Flinders University is a culturally diverse community which recognises that each student and staff member brings their own unique capabilities, experiences and characteristics to the study or work environment.

People within our community:

  • have diverse national, racial, ethnic, religious and language origins
  • live with a range of abilities and disabilities
  • experience different socio-economic histories and status
  • experience different gender and sexual identities

Flinders University values and respects the social, cultural and linguistic diversity of its community and encourages inclusive practices in order to provide an environment that is creative, innovative, flexible and productive.

Cultural diversity refers to the similarities and differences among cultures across ethnic, religious and language boundaries, for example. Flinders University promotes inclusive teaching and internationalisation in all areas of teaching and research through discussion forums on the internationalisation of the curriculum, teaching diverse learners and cultural diversity in the workplace.

To recognise our commitment to cultural diversity and to sustain and enhance a culturally inclusive environment, Flinders University will:

  • continue to promote a respect for cultural diversity in University programs and policies
  • continue to encourage our staff and students to observe the values of inclusiveness and fairness whilst maintaining high professional standards so they are able to effectively interact with and operate in culturally diverse communities
  • continue to provide adequate facilities and use materials and methods that are culturally appropriate for students and staff in the University
  • develop further initiatives that promote mutual respect, harmony, cooperation and opportunities for cross-cultural exchange
  • support an educational approach to the challenges that cultural diversity brings
