Policy of Non-Discrimination Against Women

The University has a clear policy of non-discrimination against women in our Workplace Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination Policy. Section 7 states that the University does not tolerate and is actively committed to preventing all forms of unlawful discrimination.

Specifically, Clause 20 outlines protections against discrimination based on characteristics including (but not limited to):

Sex and sex characteristics
Pregnancy or potential pregnancy
Breastfeeding or expressing milk
Marital or relationship status
Sexual orientation
Gender identity (including transgender status)
Intersex status
Parental, family, or carer responsibilities

These protections demonstrate the University’s commitment to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and equitable environment for women and all staff and students.

The policy was effective from 8th of April 2024 and will be reviewed in 2027.

The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
