The Faculty of Science’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee and each of its schools’ committees bring together staff and students to identify, discuss, advise on and progress issues and initiatives related to a providing diverse and inclusive environment.
Our approach to diversity and inclusion for both staff and students is guided by the principles outlined in the University of Melbourne’s Diversity and Inclusion Strategy (2030).
