The role of an ally@UNSW

Your role as an active ally@UNSW involves a commitment to creating an inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ identifying students and staff.

This includes being publicly listed (you may opt out) on the website and being a trusted, safe, confidential contact who continues to learn, recommends areas for improvement at UNSW, calls out discrimination when it's safe to do so, and amplifies LGBTQIA+ voices. This could mean sharing articles, posting on social media and engaging your local areas to celebrate and recognise days of significance like Mardi Gras, opens in a new windowIDAHOBIT, opens in a new window and Wear it Purple, opens in a new window.
