Victoria University is committed to equal opportunity, social justice, cultural diversity and social inclusion in education and employment. We recognise the value of diversity in the educational and workplace setting and we aim to create an inclusive work and study environment free from discrimination and harassment.

We continually work to develop and refine our equity, diversity and social inclusion agenda with governments and other stakeholders. Our Student Equity and Diversity Initiative (SEDI) Grants help support disadvantaged students by improving the academic, teaching and learning experience, and developing inclusive practices.

We empower students from different countries and cultures to be successful lifelong learners. We are committed to growing their skills and capabilities for the changing world of work, to be confident, creative, ethical and respectful, local and global citizens.
