University of Newcastle ALLY Network
The University of Newcastle ALLY Network consists of a number of contact people (staff and students) who are informed about, sensitive toward and have an understanding of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) people and their issues, and are willing to affirm their experiences and rights.
The UoN ALLY Network aims to extend the current diversity initiatives of the University into the area of sexuality and to promote a more welcoming, diverse and inclusive culture by facilitating greater visibility and awareness of GLBTI issues.
The ALLY Network, through our ALLIES, also assists in raising the awareness of GLBTI issues across our campuses.
