Bring all of you to ECU.

We strive to be an inclusive university that values diversity and aims to create for students, staff and the broader community an environment free from discrimination.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples

We are committed to attracting, recruiting and retaining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees. Creating a workplace which is culturally aware and to providing support to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees to maximise their potential.

Gender equality

ECU is proud to be one of fifteen Australian institutions to have received the Athena SWAN Bronze Award in 2018. The Award recognises our commitment to creating a gender inclusive workplace and addressing unequal gender representation within work areas.  We are currently working on our four-year Action Plan.

LGBTIQA+

ECU is committed to LGBTIQA+ inclusion and embeds this in the organisation in many ways.

The Pride @ ECU is responsible for leading institutional conversations around LGBTIQA+ inclusion, monitoring LGBTIQA+ initiatives (including the ALLY Network and LGBTIQA+ Staff Network) and demonstrating and promoting inclusive practice across the whole University.

The ALLY Network is a group of likeminded ECU staff who actively and visibly support the rights and inclusion of LGBTIQA+ populations through visibility, awareness raising and activities.

The LGBTIQA+ staff network provides a safe space for LGBTIQA+ staff to come together for social and networking events as well as providing feedback and responses to ECU’s inclusion initiatives.

ECU is dedicated to ensuring that all policies are inclusive of LGBTIQA+ employees and their families (where families are included within policies/benefits).

People with disability

ECU is committed to employing people with disability in academic and professional staff positions and providing rewarding careers. It is our goal to provide and maintain a safe and healthy work environment that is inclusive of people with a disability. This includes making reasonable adjustments to accommodate changes to facilities, equipment, work practices or training that can help you succeed in your job.

ECU’s Staff with Disability Network provides a safe space for staff with lived experience of disability to connect with, and support each other. Network membership is open to all staff with lived experience of disability, regardless of whether you wish to share information about your disability with your employer. The Network hosts events and facilitates the participation of its members in consultations with respect to matters impacting the lives of people with disability at ECU.

ECU works to support staff with family responsibilities by providing access to leave to care for sick children; flexible working arrangements; primary and secondary carer’s leave.

Parenting rooms are available on each campus. All rooms have received a 5 star rating from the Australian Breastfeeding Association.
