As well as providing support and overall coordination in relation to procedures dealing with discrimination and harassment, The Equity Office also contributes to the education of students and staff about equity related matters.
The information provided from The Equity Office site is designed to complement other University student websites or provide additional information related to equity and diversity matters.
However, the PRIMARY UNIVERSITY WEBSITE FOR ALL STUDENTS IS myAdvisor.
Research clearly shows that students who develop relationships with people from different backgrounds improve their learning outcomes. This is a direct result of the challenges of being exposed to ideas and world views. As a student of this University it is hoped that you will take the opportunity to embrace this diversity by making new friends and valuing the variety of backgrounds, views and beliefs of the people you will meet during your time as a member of the UQ community.

"Tolerance is fundamental to human society. We have to celebrate diversity. We have to embrace difference, not look at it in a threatening way. At the end of the day we are all much better placed when we are getting along with each other."
Declan Kelly, Irish Ambassador to Australia.
