Diversity and Inclusion

Flinders University is a culturally diverse community which recognises that each student and staff member brings their own unique capabilities, experiences and characteristics to the study or work environment.

Flinders University values and respects the social, cultural and linguistic diversity of its community and encourages inclusive practices in order to provide an environment that is creative, innovative, flexible and productive.

Flinders University’s commitment to providing an environment where students and staff with disability are valued, supported and encouraged, and are able to, as far as practicably possible, participate fully and independently in the life of the University. 

The University has several resources and tools to assist both staff and students with disabilities. 

At Flinders, we recognise the rich diversity of our community of students and staff who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, agender and gender diverse, intersex, queer and questioning, asexual and aromantic, plus other related identities (LGBTQIA+). We welcome and celebrate the brotherboys, sistergirls and other LGBTQIA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our community.

We work to ensure that the staff and student experience at Flinders, and within the broader community, is one of being included, safe, respected, and supported.
