Resources and Networks
The ALLY program at UNSW aims to create a more supportive and inclusive culture for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning heterosexual and intersex (LGBTQI) students and staff.
ALLY@UNSW is an active network that meets regularly to keep abreast of issues that may affect LGBTQI students and staff. It also hosts events and invites guest speakers to talk on topics of interest throughout the academic year.
Volunteer staff and student leaders undergo training to become Allies and come from a a cross-section of the diverse UNSW community. They affirm the rights and experiences of LGBTQI people, challenge homophobic and heterosexist values and raise awareness about issues that LGBTQI face. They are also a confidential referral point for students and staff to access LGBTQI specific community services or organisations.
Allies are recognised by displaying the ALLY@UNSW logo in their work area or by wearing an ALLY badge.
ALLY@UNSW
is a joint initiative of the Student Equity and Disabilities Unit, Human Resources and is supported by Arc.
