Gender Equity Working Group

ANU Gender Equity Strategy Consultation

天美传媒 National University (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 University'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 University's first Gender Equity Strategy (GES) in collaboration with key stakeholders.  

Feedback from the University 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 University'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.
