At every Australian university, safety and wellbeing is a top priority.
Universities Australia works actively to help support all member universities to enhance efforts at each institution and at the sector level to keep students and staff safe.
Submission to the Inquiry into right wing extremist movements in Australia
Universities Australia (UA) has made a submission to the inquiry into right wing extremist movements in Australia. UA represents Australia’s 39 comprehensive universities. Our members are deeply committed to fostering safe, respectful and inclusive environments across their physical and digital campuses for all students, staff and campus users. Our submission includes a comprehensive summary of what universities are doing to address extremism.
UA supports the ongoing work of TEQSA to address student wellbeing and safety on and off campus, and the measures considered to improve diversity and equity, student grievances and complaints. UA welcomes the ongoing government consultation on the topics in question — diversity and equity, student grievances and complaints, and wellbeing and safety — and other related matters.
