Committees, networks and working groups

A healthy workplace thrives on a strong sense of belonging, reflecting the values and interests of our diverse community. To nurture our community, staff are encouraged to join and actively contribute to a range of committees and working groups. 

Some of our current Committees include:

Diversity and inclusion committee

Reconciliation action plan oversight committee

Pride committee

Safety committee

Whether centrally coordinated or specific to a college or portfolio, these groups share a common goal of making Flinders an even better place to work.

Speak to your manager about the committees and working groups in your area and ways you can get involved.

At Bedford Park - places

At Flinders, our spaces are designed to foster a sense of belonging. We recognise that a physical connection to the environment can be just as important as an emotional one. 

Yungkurrinthi Inparrila, meaning ‘meeting place’ in Kaurna, is a dedicated outdoor space situated next to the Yungkurrinthi Trruku (Building) at Bedford Park, which honours and acknowledges Country, cultural knowledge and learning.

There are also prayer rooms located across the various campuses. The Campus Maps will provide details about locations.
