Inclusion, diversity, equity and access at RMIT
At RMIT, we believe our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. We are committed to creating an inclusive, equitable and accessible environment where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to thrive.
RMIT’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA) Framework is our University’s overarching framework for advancing inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility across our global community. Shaped by the voices of students and staff, it sets out our aspirations, priorities and actions for creating a more inclusive RMIT.
The work builds on our commitment to Responsible Practice – challenging bias and taking action to remove barriers and elevate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
At RMIT, we hold ourselves to the highest standard and reject all racism and religious discrimination within our University.
