ECU is proud to be one of fifteen Australian institutions to have received the Athena SWAN Bronze Award in 2018. The Award recognises our commitment to creating a gender inclusive workplace and addressing unequal gender representation within work areas.  We are currently working on our four-year Action Plan.

ECU is committed to LGBTIQA+ inclusion and embeds this in the organisation in many ways.

The Pride @ ECU is responsible for leading institutional conversations around LGBTIQA+ inclusion, monitoring LGBTIQA+ initiatives (including the ALLY Network and LGBTIQA+ Staff Network) and demonstrating and promoting inclusive practice across the whole University.

The ALLY Network is a group of likeminded ECU staff who actively and visibly support the rights and inclusion of LGBTIQA+ populations through visibility, awareness raising and activities.

The LGBTIQA+ staff network provides a safe space for LGBTIQA+ staff to come together for social and networking events as well as providing feedback and responses to ECU’s inclusion initiatives.

ECU is dedicated to ensuring that all policies are inclusive of LGBTIQA+ employees and their families (where families are included within policies/benefits).

ECU is committed to employing people with disability in academic and professional staff positions and providing rewarding careers. It is our goal to provide and maintain a safe and healthy work environment. This includes making reasonable adjustments to accommodate changes to facilities, equipment, work practices or training that can help you do your job.

Our strategies for improving access and inclusion are contained in our Disability Action and Inclusion Plan 2016-2021
