Equity @ ACU week

Join us for Equity @ ACU Week next week, 10–14 October, to recognise and celebrate ACU’s diverse community, and commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice. Events for staff and students will be running throughout the week at all campuses.

The Equity @ ACU Week is an opportunity to reflect on our understanding of equity, share practice, learn about emerging ideas and approaches, and explore cultural and structural change for future impact.
