DIVERSITY
With 46,000 students from 142 countries,
speaking 100+ languages, as well as
staff from all around the world, UQ fully
endorses equity and diversity.
Discrimination and harassment (including
bullying and sexual harassment) is unlawful
under State and Commonwealth Acts
and is against UQ policy. Under the
Anti-Discrimination Act Queensland it
is unlawful to discriminate on the basis
of sex, relationship status, pregnancy,
parental status, breastfeeding, age, race,
impairment, religious belief or religious
activity, political belief or activity, trade
union activity, lawful sexual activity, gender
identity, sexuality or family responsibilities,
or association with, or relation to, a person
identified on the basis of any of the above
attributes.

policies, check the Student Grievance
