Gender Equity Working Group
ANU Gender Equity Strategy Consultation
The Australian National 51³Ô¹ÏÍø (ANU) has made a commitment to diversity and inclusion as a part of the ANU Strategic Plan 2021-2025 (ANU 2025). Pillar 4 of ANU 2025 states the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's intention to become a 'standard-bearer for equity and inclusion'. In light of this goal, the Gender Equity Plan Taskforce has developed a first draft of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's first Gender Equity Strategy (GES) in collaboration with key stakeholders.
Feedback from the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø community was accepted between 17April and 5 May 2023. This feedback will directly inform changes to the plan, and the final version will be submitted to the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's Senior Management Group for approval. The plan is expected to be finalised by mid-2023, at which time it will be available for all to view.
The Gender Equity Working Group
The objective of the Working Group is to assist with strategic development, implementation of actions and the reporting cycle of the Gender Equity Working Group as part of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's commitment to the creation of an inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible study, work and living environment as part of the ANU IDEA Governance Framework. The ANU IDEA Governance Framework takes a whole-of-community approach to foster a healthy working, learning and living environment for students, staff and visitors.
