OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

South West TAFE is committed to making diversity, equity and inclusion part of everything we do – from how we develop and deliver our courses, to how we build our workforce.

We recognise the community responsibility we have to support gender equality and being fair and inclusive to all. We believe the greatest contribution we can make to changing inequality is sustained action within our organisation and the communities in which we participate. This will enable our staff and students to achieve their full potential.

We understand that achievement of this commitment will involve sustained cultural change over time but we are committed to creating this environment.
Access our 16 days of activism social media campaign here which further discusses our commitment to change.

RESPECT AND EQUALITY AT TAFE

All Victorian TAFEs & Dual-Sectors are uniting to promote the importance of respect, equality and inclusion throughout their campuses and online platforms during the Respect and Equality at TAFE WEEK. We believe our communities should be safe and free from violence. From Monday 15th to Friday 19th of April, we encourage students and staff to engage in activities aimed at preventing gender-based violence and promoting gender equality at your respective TAFEs.

TAFEs & Dual-Sectors are committed to our communities being ‘A Place For Everyone’.

Details of activities taking place at each SWTAFE campus are available via the SWTAFE staff intranet and student portal.
