Our journey to an inclusive future
Murdoch University is a place where everyone can reach their potential.
We have a long history of welcoming diverse communities and are proud to host the highest representation of students with disabilities, First Nations heritage, and lower socio-economic backgrounds in Western Australia.
This inclusive culture is not just a source of pride but a core value. We are committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of race, culture, ability, religion, gender, sexuality, age, economic class, or background, can achieve their full potential.
We lead this commitment by example, celebrating and modelling a genuinely inclusive community every day. In partnership with the University’s other two strategic themes – Sustainability and First Nations – we are building a brighter future, together.
Disability inclusion
#1 in WA for students with a disability
First Nations

Economic diversity
#1 in WA for low socio-economic status students
Fostering a community that cares
We believe that all members of our community should feel comfortable bringing their whole and authentic selves to university. We recognise that everyone is unique and embrace all intersections of identity.
We foster this culture of acceptance with regular training and resources – because we all have a role to play in creating an inclusive environment.
Whether you're a member of our community today, aspiring to join us, or seeking ways to promote inclusivity elsewhere, we invite you to explore our initiatives and utilise the resources we offer.
Partnering for impact
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in an institution is not a given; it is a commitment to ongoing and explicit action which ensures that the diverse perspectives, identities, and experiences within our community feel safe, supported, and valued for their authentic selves.
This is why our staff and students engage in research to better understand and address the barriers faced by individuals with intersecting social identities.
It’s imperative that this work benefits local, national and global communities, this is why we welcome government, industry and non-government partners to develop practices and solutions to these barriers.
