UNSW’s Equity & Diversity Policy

We fully support the UNSW's Equity and Diversity Policy and have established an Equity and Opportunity Committee to oversee these issues and to ensure that we provide a comfortable and safe educational environment for everyone.

The ALLY Network

The ALLY@UNSW network of trained staff and students aims to ensure that UNSW is a safe and welcoming place for all students and staff who identify as LGBTIQ. Contact us if you'd like to connect for confidential referral advice.

Science & Engineering Indigenous Pre-Program

UNSW has developed the Science and Engineering Indigenous Pre-Program in partnership with Nura Gili. The pre-program provides an opportunity for Indigenous students looking to explore and apply for entry into an undergraduate degree.
