Murdoch University is a place where everyone can reach their potential. We believe that a brighter future begins with a genuinely inclusive community, where every individual feels and is safe, supported, and empowered to thrive as their authentic self.
Our mission is to guide Murdoch University in sustained and transparent action by collaborating with community, honouring lived experience, and improving systems that limit access, participation, and belonging.
Equity
The actions and support structures which ensure all members of the community can realise their potential.
Diversity
Population demographics that acknowledge the differences between people and where they are represented.
Inclusion
A sense of belonging, safety, empowerment, and agency for members of diverse community groups.
Building a brighter future
We are committed to building a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive community and an environment which is equitable and safe; one where all members of our community can realise their potential.
Our sub-strategy to achieve this focuses on raising the voice, value, and agency of First Nations Australians, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities, those with disabilities and neurodiversity, and members of the LGBTIQA+ community.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion team provides support and guidance through the implementation of a range of initiatives.
