Our journey to an inclusive future
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.
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
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.

Making a difference every day
Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion team provides support and guidance to the University through the development and implementation of a range of EDI initiatives. We work closely with individual schools, departments, and teams across the University to make EDI a seamless part of everyday work.
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.
Find the support you need
We are committed to supporting staff and students to enable equal participation in their work and studies. We collaborate with our advisory groups to develop initiatives and gather feedback on access and inclusion across our community, as well as providing a range of support services for individuals. Help is available every step of the way so we encourage you to reach out and make the most of everything on offer.
We’re invested in the success of every student and staff member in our community. Our convenient and confidential support services are here to help ensure that everyone is best positioned to reach their potential, whether through wellbeing advice, supporting access or guidance on learning and career journeys.
Research that's making the world a more inclusive place.
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.
