At Deakin, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive, diverse and respectful community. Wherever you come from, however you identify, we welcome you. Every member of the Deakin community has a role to play in living our values, including you.

• At Deakin, we’re always working towards creating an environment of inclusion where we value and celebrate diversity, embrace difference and nurture a connected, safe and respectful community. In Australia, we are committed to Reconciliation and Treaty, advancing the educational aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Internationally, all our endeavours aim to reflect the full history of a nation and seek to build an inclusive future.
• Deakin recognises our LGBTIQ+ students and staff. If you identify as a member of this community or want to show your support as an ally, you can get involved with our LGBTIQ+ Community. Keep an eye out for our rainbow signage, visual reminders that you are in a LGBTIQ+ friendly environment.
• Places of worships are available to all students and staff, regardless of religious belief. They offer a quiet and peaceful environment for you to take time for personal reflection or practise your faith. We also have multi-faith chaplains on staff who you can speak with for spiritual support.
