At Curtin caring is an expression grounded in relationships and translated into action to create safe and inclusive work and learning environments and support staff and students.

Care is a commitment to accessibility, fostering respectful relationships and building a Curtin community where all staff and students can thrive. Doing so is an expression of our Curtin values and intrinsic to the realisation of our 2030 Strategic Plan.

To ensure a supportive experience for all people, Curtin is required to take reasonable and appropriate measures to actively eliminate discrimination on the basis of intersectional social and cultural factors such as race, ethnicity, disability, gender, sex and other aspects of identity.
