LGBTIQ+ Inclusion | Equity Diversity & Inclusion

UNSW aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for students, staff and visitors. We understand LGBTIQ+ people continue to face challenges in society that their non-LGBTIQ+ equivalents may not experience. We hope you can feel confident and loved to be your full self here.

UNSW Pride

We are proud that our community is made up of diverse genders, sexes and sexualities; and we continually strive to make UNSW a welcoming place for LGBTIQ+ students and staff.
