UQ Cultural Inclusion Council
The Council provides a consultative mechanism for developing and implementing inclusion initiatives focused on culturally and linguistically diverse staff across UQ.
We aim to:
- foster an environment that is respectful and allows for the empowerment of staff from diverse
- backgrounds
- establish strong policies in line with legislation that are anti-harassment, anti-discrimination and anti-racism
- provide resources and programs for the wider UQ community to raise cultural awareness and promote inclusive workplace practices
- develop and maintain an inclusive environment from staff of diverse backgrounds; along with increasing community connection
- devise UQ’s first CALD Inclusion Strategy.
