Our approach to diversity and inclusion is driven by the UNSW 2025 Vision.
From the Vice-Chancellor down, diversity and inclusion is considered essential to UNSW's continued success. To address this, the Medicine Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (MEDIC) is committed to providing a supportive and equitable place of employment and education for all staff and students of UNSW Medicine without discrimination.
